It was noted that included on this resolution was a transfer from the general fund for the facility. Mr. Don Krieger, Head of the Solid Waste Facility/Transfer Station was present for the discussion on fees and the general shortfall of cash for the transfer station.  Mr. Krieger the transfer station has brought in more than $23,000 less in revenue than this time last year.  The last 2 years were good, way up because of the hail storm.  Now revenue is down and expenses are up.  The cost per pulls have increased and this year when the contracts were negotiated there was an additional clause added for additional costs for state tipping fees.  He stated that even though costs have gone up, there has not been a rate increase since 2005.  The transfer station can no longer hold at their rates.  He stated that 80% of their revenue is cash or credit card transactions, which are general residential.  20% are checks or credit cards from contractors.  The contractors revenues are down significantly.  He is recommending that the cost per ton be raised to $60, which would realize an increase in revenue of $30K/year.  This would also raise the base rate from $10 to $12. Further research will be done and brought up for further discussion.

10:00:12 AM

Judge Bumb, Juvenile/Probate Court Budget Discussions

Judge Bumb stated that there has been a decrease in his budget which can be attributed to the adoption of his ERIP.  There has been right around a $25K in savings.  There are now 3 full-time staff and 1 part-time.  This works well for them and for the employees.  The only problem that can be foreseen is if there is an extended illness.  This would then bump up the hours of the part-time person.  He stated that for Juvenile Detention, the 2009 numbers can be used for the 2010 budget, because they are working off of a credit.  Public Defender costs are going through the roof.  Last year approximately $48K was spent. He noted that he will do a transfer from the Guardianship Fund at the first part of the year to the general fund. He noted that he is required to take 40 hours of CLE over the next 2 year cycle and that he will need to find money in his budget for that.
