08/16/2022 MINUTES 2 <br /> <br /> <br />PUBLIC HEARING NEW FEE SCHEDULE SOLID WASTE <br /> <br />At 2:04 P.M. CHAIRMAN OSIADACZ opened a Public Hearing to consider <br />setting a new fee schedule for the Solid Waste Department. <br /> <br />PATTI STACEY, MAINTENANCE DIRECTOR/SOLID WASTE DIRECTOR/PROJECT <br />MANAGER, recommended that a Resolution be approved for setting a new <br />schedule for the Solid Waste Department. She explained the increase <br />in population, Waste Management increasing their fees, new <br />legislature, and inflation are all causes of needing a new fee <br />schedule. <br /> <br />THOSE PRESENT & TESTIFYING: AL SHARP stated that it is hard to make <br />comments on a proposal when there was no background given as to how <br />those numbers were created. He wanted to know what percent of trips <br />across the scale are the minimum and what percent are by the <br />tonnage. He stated that the more information out to the public, the <br />easier it will be for decisions to be made. He also stated that the <br />minimum has gone up in 2 categories, but not in construction. He <br />wanted to know why fees aren’t being increased across all <br />categories. He does not think that there needs to be a minimum <br />increase. He spoke in opposition of the fee schedule, as the <br />information is hard to obtain. <br /> <br />VICE-CHAIRMAN WRIGHT moved to approve Resolution No. 2022-160 to set <br />a new fee schedule for the Solid Waste Department. COMMISSIONER <br />WACHSMITH seconded. Motioned carried 3-0. <br /> <br />The meeting concluded at 2:28 p.m. <br /> <br />KITTITAS COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br />ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTENT KITTITAS COUNTY, WASHINGTON <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Emily Smith Laura Osiadacz, Chairman <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
