If the county commission approves our current proposals we will close the 
three least productive convenience center sites, without a significant 
reduction in available services by having the populace take their trash and 
recyclables to sites that are not significantly that much further from the 
present sites.  By doing so, we will save on the lease fees for the three 
sites totaling about $55,000 per year, power usage costs of $6000 per year, 
annual salaries of $53414.40 and contracted services costs of over $25,000 
per annum plus incidentals I am probably over looking.  This totals to a 
saving of over $114,000 annually.  This savings only accrues if the board 
agrees to the changes.  Since we are a self-supporting agency the state 
cuts do not have as significant an effect on our bottom line although the 
holding back of grant monies is harmful.

"As a result of the State budget crisis, my organization may have to cut
services.  Has anyone cut or does anyone plan to cut services or positions
in the solid waste/recycling area?  If so, what is your plan and what are
the projected savings?  Any information would be greatly appreciated."
