Public Utilities Department
FY 23 Department Budget Priorities
• Solid Waste FY 2023 Projected Fund Deficit
• Fiscal year resources for Solid Waste Operating Fund in FY 2023 total $38,203,600 and total appropriations of $41,866,400. The Solid Waste Operating Fund is projected to end the FY 2023 with a $3,662,800 deficit
. The total resources primarily from residential
customer user fees (rate payers) are not adequate to cover the operating fund’s projected expenditure. Solid Waste has not had a utility rate adjustment in
over 13-years.
• The rising costs of: labor; fleet maintenance and replacement vehicle purchases; fuel; tipping fees (disposal fees); replacement equipment; landfill post closure repairs; and other expenditures have also created significant challenges for the fund to stay balanced.
