RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that City Council approve the one-year landfill use agreement with Yellowstone County.
BACKGROUND (Consistency with Adopted Plans and Policies, if applicable)
The Billings Regional Landfill currently accepts waste from Yellowstone County. Disposal of waste picked up and hauled by private haulers is charged directly to those haulers. Yellowstone County is only charged for the estimated tonnage and landfill trips of self-haul residential waste. The agreement with Yellowstone County is for FY21 and the dollar amount is based on the landfill fees in the Solid Waste fee resolution passed by Council on June 8. 2020.
ALTERNATIVES
City Council may:
- Approve the landfill agreement with Yellowstone County, or;
- Disapprove the agreement. If Council does not approve the agreement, there would be a loss of revenue for the Solid Waste Fund.
FISCAL EFFECTS
The landfill agreement will generate $258,000 in revenue for the Solid Waste Fund in FY21.
