ICABARRUSCOUNT71 ~ORTX C~80[I~ Memo To: Board of Commissioners //~~ From: John D. Day, Deputy County ManagerL~_/x~ Date: December 15, 1998 Re: Appropriation of Fund Balance for Improvements and Equipment Two unexpected events and one overlooked issue have led to this request for a fund balance appropriation in the landfill fund. First, the NC Department of Environment and Natural Resources has required improvements to the white goods staging area at the landfill. The area must be covered with concrete, asphalt or gravel. We have chosen gravel because of cost issues. Improvements are also needed for the roads. I am requesting a $15,000 appropriation from the revenues received from the VVhite Goods Trust Fund for these improvements. These revenues may only be used for purposes related to white goods management. Revenues on hand from the trust fund total $346,000. Second, Nextel, the radio service provider for the landfill operation, will no longer provide the type of service currently being used. Consequently, I am requesting an $8,000 fund balance appropriation to purchase 7 radios which will operate in the county's 800 mhz radio system. This is considerably less expensive than leasing wireless communication service from a private provider. Again, trust fund revenues may be used. Third, it's been determined that the software and computer used in the landfill weigh station are not Y2K compliant. Regretfully, this was overlooked during the regular budget process last year. Because this software and equipment is also used to track white goods, revenues from the trust fund may be used. I am requesting an appropriation of $25,000. Please contact me if you desire additional information. Office of the County Manager P O. Box 707 · Concord, NC 28026-0707 · (704) 788~8100 ° Charlotte 375-0829
