AGENDA: ATTACHMENT NO. 1

 

ZIONS BANK/PUBLIC FINANCE LANDFILL STUDY REPORT – JON BRONSON

 

Kristine Parker and Jon Bronson presented the Zions Bank/Public Finance Landfill Study Report.  Box Elder County requested a study to determine appropriate tipping fees for differing levels of municipal solid waste (MSW) volume to help determine the extent of landfill service the County wishes to provide to surrounding counties.  In addition, the County is interested in defining the costs associated with a municipal versus a commercial landfill.  A model was developed for the County’s landfill service.  The model allows the County to change several variables associated with landfill operation and see how those changes impact the cost per ton to process MSW.  The report outlined the methodology, fixed assumptions, variable assumptions, limitations, and summarized conclusions. Ms. Parker said the model is designed to determine tipping fees required to meet basic landfill expenses and County revenue expectations. (The Study is on file in the Recorder/Clerk’s Office)
