AND TO CONTINUE WORKING CLOSELY WITH MUNICIPALITIES TO
DEVELOP PROGRAMS FOR ASSESSMENT, VOLUME REDUCTION, AND
DISPOSAL FEES; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE; AND
FOR OTHER PURPOSES.
WHEREAS, the Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach
County is considering a split assessment system and a volume
based system of charging disposal fees; and
WHEREAS, the Solid Waste Authority created a special 60
day committee to investigate the assessment and fee issues, and
to provide the Solid Waste Authority Board at their March, 1992

assessment, disposal fee, and volume reduction issues as methods
to reduce the solid waste stream, and to more fairly and
equitably charge customers is insufficient; and

present billing system for another year, and should continue to
work closely with municipalities on developing assessment,
disposal fee, and waste reduction programs to meet the common
goals of municipalities and the Solid Waste Authority.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE TOWN COMMISSION OF
