SANITATION FUND  907
The Sanitation Enterprise Fund, under the direction of the Public Works Director, is responsible for collecting residential
and commercial solid waste on a weekly curbside basis. Residential waste is collected by city forces and transported and
disposed of in a privately owned landfill under a contractual basis. Commercial waste is collected by city forces on a
voluntary subscription basis. This Fund also operates a recycling center. This Fund generates revenue from a fee placed
on monthly residential utility bills and commercial subscriptions.
• Industrial/commercial and residential refuse revenues have increased as a result of implementing new garbage
truck routing software and conducting a deep dive into the number of totes that are physically being picked up at
each commercial/industrial/institutional and residential site as compared to what is being billed.
• Landfill services expenses include $290,000 to pay the Meadow Branch Landfill to dispose of the city's
collected garbage under a contractual arrangement.
• Fleet management expenses include $180,000 to transfer funds from this Fund to the Fleet Management Fund
for the future acquisition of replacement vehicles and equipment.
• Other contract expenses include $60,000 for the Recycling Center's annual property lease payment, Year 3 of 3
for the sanitation routing software, and increased recycling services cost.
• Fixed assets expenses include $35,000 for replacement garbage lids and dumpsters.
• It should be noted that this Enterprise Fund is projecting a deficit of $120,700 without any fee increases. Any
shortfall will come from Sanitation Fund reserves.
