Kent Wilson – Emery County is the highest taxed county in the state. This should be a perk. Janice Spencer – are people from out of the area coming to use the landfill? Maybe propose that they check people’s drivers licenses to see if they are from Emery County. Travis Tuttle – maybe put in the city budget and the city take care of some of the fee. Kent Wilson stated there could possibly be an increase on the utility bill of $1.00 to $1.25 which is 20% of the garbage fee.
