BOOK 95 FA E 151 <br />SWDD staff requests the Boards review and comments on the Resolution <br />presented herein, and further, requests that the Board schedule the <br />Resolution with any recommended changes for a Public Hearing and <br />adoption. If the subject Resolution is recommended for adoption such <br />adoption has to be accomplished before the assessment roll for this <br />year can be finalized. <br />Director Terry Pinto reviewed the information for the Board <br />and advised that the Solid Waste District has to set an assessment <br />roll on an annual basis which represents the amount of units, what <br />we describe as WGUs, in the system, divided into the assessable <br />part of the budget. The budget has been refined somewhat this year <br />to identify differences between residential and non-residential <br />costs. The recyclable curbside cost is allocated to the <br />residential units. The commercial unit costs have been reduced <br />from $37 to $33.93 per unit, while the residential costs have been <br />increased from $75.21 to $79.32. Staff did various studies on the <br />generation of garbage by commercial entities and is recommending <br />some changes. There are several new categories, such as used <br />commodity stores, which are second-hand or thrift stores. All of <br />the new numbers were based on specific observations of the actual <br />garbage being produced. There is a new code for supermarkets over <br />10,000 square feet which gives some relief to the larger stores. <br />Commissioner Eggert noted that the Professional Services <br />Advisory Committee had recommended a super store category and <br />inquired whether these super stores generate more waste than the <br />large grocery stores. <br />Director Pinto responded that the super store is a new <br />category and staff does not have a good feel for whether they are <br />producing more garbage or not. However, he advised that the <br />smaller stores are producing a tremendous amount of cardboard <br />recycling. <br />Chairman Macht asked how Wal-Mart, which has a supermarket <br />grocery operation, is categorized, and Commissioner Adams advised <br />that it is categorized at the highest, which is a supermarket over <br />10,000 square feet. <br />Director Pinto stated that Wal-Mart will be tracked for the <br />coming year and a decision will be made whether to categorize it in <br />the future as a super store or a supermarket over 10,000 square <br />feet. <br />Another new category which should be noted is 1-J, Warehouse <br />with Multi-Commercial/Industrial Uses.
