Some Counties that are not actively processing waste and/or are operating and supportive of landfills <br />may be opposed. Some waste haulers may oppose this if the resulting method of incentive might <br />increase their cost of services or develop some form of competitive advantage to haulers that use waste <br />to energy facilities. <br />Previous Consideration: <br />The County Board advocated this position last year. <br />No Action: <br />If no action is taken, lack of equity among County Solid Waste Management programs and services will <br />continue to exist. Washington County taxpayers currently subsidize taxpayers in other Counties in the <br />Metropolitan Region, as other Counties benefit from regional solid waste accomplishments without <br />making system investments comparable to Washington County. <br />Financial Implications: In 2017, Washington County will collect and spend approximately $4.4 million <br />on Waste Processing. <br />Proposal Contact Persons: <br />Lowell Johnson, Director <br />Public Health and Environment <br />651-430-6725 <br />Lowell.Johnson@co.washington.mn.us <br />D <br />Judy Hunter, Senior Program Manager <br />Public Health and Environment <br />651-430-4031 <br />Judy.
