Board of Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final July 17, 2019 for mandatory County -wide garbage pickup had expired. Administrator Brown explained the provisions in the contract and suggested that for planning purposes, a proposed rate of $8.50 per month for a total of $51.00 would be advisable. Commissioner O'Bryan amended his motion and Chairman Solari amended his second, to add $51.00 to the SWDD Assessment, which would cover six months of mandatory garbage pickup beginning April 1, 2020 for all residents in the unincorporated area of the County. Chairman Solari opened the public hearing. Property Appraiser Wesley S. Davis stated he would be willing to work with the Board on including a notification in the TRIM notices. There being no further speakers, the Chairman Solari closed the Public Hearing. County Attorney Dylan Reingold referred to County Administrator Brown for clarification in regards to the amended rates. Administrator Brown replied that the properties within the cities and outside the Urban Service Area would continue with the current proposed rate of $120.90 per Equivalent Residential Unit (ERU). He continued that the residents in the unincorporated areas and within the Urban Service Area, the rate would be $51.00 higher, for a total of $171.90 per ERU. Property Appraiser Wesley S. Davis requested a simplification of the proposed SWDD assessment. He suggested an across the board rate of $171.90 for all residents in the unincorporated areas of the County. He explained that using one rate during the budget workshop and hearings would ensure timely mailing of the TRIM notices as well as setting a rate ceiling for all affected residents. Should the Board decide on mandatory County -wide trash pickup, the rates could then be lowered to reflect final negotiated rates. Commissioner O'Bryan summarized the proposed rate, amended his motion and Chairman Solari amended his second. A motion was made by Commissioner O'Bryan, seconded by Chairman Solari, to approve a proposed charge of $120.90 per Equivalent Residential Unit (ERU) for residents within the cities and $171.90 per ERU for residents in the unincorporated area of the County and within the urban service area for mandatory garbage service for six months beginning April 1, 2020.
