Budget Highlights: The FY 25-26 Recommended Budget is increasing by $1,191,277, or 6.0%.

The FY 25-26 budget includes the addition of two (2) Heavy Equipment Operator positions at the White St. Landfill. The additional positions allow the landfill to cancel a grading and paving contract, while still maintaining compliance with environmental regulations, by bringing contracted services in-house. The addition of the positions will yield a savings of about $223,000 annually. The FY 25-26 budget includes an increase in Construction & Demolition tipping fees at the landfill from $34/ton to $38/ton. This increase will generate an estimated additional $192,278 of revenue. The FY 25-26 budget includes an increase of $1.63 million due to various contract increases and compliance issues at the transfer station. Continuing temporary transfer station environmental compliance measures until a permanent fix is available is estimated to cost the Solid Waste Disposal fund about $950,000. Other contract increases include $723,000 in contracted refuge hauling costs. The FY 25-26 budget includes an increase of $130,667 to support various cost of doing business functions such as increased street cleaning needs, temps services, and increased costs associated with hauling glass. The FY 25-26 budget includes an increase in General fund transfer revenues by about $2.5 million to help cover expenses associated with transfer station environmental compliance issues, hauling contract increases, and other miscellaneous increases.
