SOLID WASTE DISTRICT <br />Chairman Scurlock announced again that the deadline for <br />anyone wishing to file a formal appeal on their solid waste <br />assessment is 4:30 o'clock P.M., Friday, September 16, 1988. <br />Those appeals would be heard on September 22, 1988, beginning at <br />1:00 P.M. <br />The Chairman announced that the proposed assessment per <br />Equivalent Residential Unit is $31.50 and the proposed.budget is <br />$3,874,322. <br />Chairman Scurlock opened the public hearing and asked if <br />anyone wished to be heard in this matter. <br />Jim Deedley, 2415 4th Place, had no problem with the tax per <br />se, but felt that no consideration had been given to the <br />differences in types of residences. He did not understand how a <br />couple without children can generate the same amount of trash as <br />a family with small children and teenagers, and did not think it <br />was fair. <br />Utilities Director Terry Pinto admitted that there is some <br />inequity in the ERU rate, but pointed out we have to find the <br />most equitable way to administer it. The residential assessments <br />were determined by using national averages. <br />Commissioner Wheeler felt the only alternative would be to <br />fund it through ad valorem taxes where it would be based on your <br />ability to pay. <br />There being no others who wished to be heard, the Chairman <br />closed the Public Hearing. <br />Attorney Vitunac asked if anyone wished to have the. proposed <br />resolutions read aloud. There were none. <br />u 24 600K7 F' �E M <br />
