Chairman Davis asked staff to send a letter to the Districts informing them of the sales <br />tax for Emergency Services. <br />Commissioner Wheeler thought the Board should consider purchasing property in the <br />vicinity of the Courthouse for future expansion, now that the economy is down. He felt the new <br />hangar should be built at the Sheriff's Complex, not on City property, because in the future it <br />reverts back to the City. <br />Staff responded to Commissioner Solari's inquiries regarding the commitment of the six - <br />cent sales tax for the five-year plan; when the State would start making the quarterly payments <br />for the 66th Avenue and 82nd Avenue segment; building future greenway systems that would <br />enhance communities; and the lack of operating/replacement costs for rolling stock in the Budget <br />(for Emergency Services). Thereafter, he mentioned on the level of service that the recycling <br />was increased by 16% and that the garbage was reduced by 12%. He said if we could have more <br />years of increased recycling, which would decrease the garbage pickup, then the level of service <br />of 2.2 tons per capita could be reduced, which should be a goal of the Solid Waste Project. He <br />also felt that if we could push water usage down in the household then the capital portion of the <br />plan decreases significantly. <br />Commissioner Wheeler thought it would be good if the building codes could be reviewed <br />regarding the amount of water wasted due to hot water tanks being installed at the opposite end <br />of the building's bathroom. <br />The Chairman opened the Public Hearing. There being no speakers, the Chairman closed <br />the Public Hearing. <br />15 <br />November 10, 2009 <br />
