What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

County Mayor Patrick Ray requested the budget committee recommend moving $500,000 from the solid waste fund’s $7 million fund balance into the solid waste operating budget. This funding is intended to make repairs at county convenience sites, including installing compactors at Belk, Blue Springs, and Silver Point due to existing equipment needing fixes. The county solid waste budget is financed by various taxes, such as state beer tax and wholesale beer tax, rather than local property taxes.
