FY25 Proposed Budget

• Multiple projects are in the works for the next few years, including a new maintenance building, compost pad improvements and expansion and the build-out of the South Side Recycling Center. • The cardboard compactor at East Side regularly needs attention on weekends when staff is not scheduled. Adding a compactor at the South Riverside Recycling Site will significantly improve efficiency and reduce truck miles but will increase need for weekend attention. • Our community’s continuousl y expanding population necessitates occasional curbside route restructuring; this is currently manageable with current routes, staffing and equipment. Trends suggest a fifth trash route, truck and driver may be needed by the end of the decade. • Consider new revenue via charge for yard waste bags via sticker system, similar to how customers purchase stickers for extra trash bags.
