[5:54] June 17th is National Waste and

[5:57] Recycling Workers Week. Uh and as such

[6:00] we have a proclamation um recognizing

[6:03] that that I would like to read. Um

[6:10] we have our employees here.

[6:14] >> Oh, awesome.

[6:17] They can't buy this. Mhm.

[6:35] » All the way to the front, please.

[7:07] >> I know.

[7:09] All right.

[7:10] >> All right. All right.

[7:15] mine.

[7:18] >> Um, before I read this proclamation, I

[7:20] just want to express personally and and

[7:23] on behalf of the board how much we

[7:24] appreciate all that you do. We know that

[7:27] it is a difficult job. It is often

[7:30] underappreciated.

[7:31] Um, but it is something that we all rely

[7:34] on every single day uh in our community.

[7:37] And when it doesn't get done well like

[7:39] you guys do, um, that that's when we

[7:42] hear about it. Um and and really we just

[7:44] appreciate all of your hard work every

[7:47] single day. Um so on that note, I'd like

[7:51] to um read this um proclamation

[7:55] recognizing the week of June 17th as

[7:57] National Waste and Recycling Workers

[7:58] Week and then after um a motion from the

[8:02] board to adopt this. Um whereas the

[8:05] nation celebrates the week of June 17th

[8:07] as National Waste and Recycling Workers

[8:09] Week and whereas National Garbage Man

[8:12] and Woman Day began in 2012 to show

[8:16] community appreciation for the local

[8:17] people of the garbage sanitation and

[8:19] recycling industry and later changed the

[8:21] official name to Waste and Recycling

[8:23] Workers Week. And whereas the earliest

[8:26] garbage regulation efforts began in 3000

[8:29] BC. Oh wow, I'm wearing this. um with a

[8:32] dirt landfill was developed in Creek

[8:35] where large holes were dug for refu and

[8:38] whereas since that time solid waste

[8:40] workers have worked selflessly and

[8:41] tirelessly in all types of environments

[8:44] weather pandemics civil unrest war and

[8:47] at risk to themselves to provide solid

[8:49] waste services to protect communities

[8:51] and residents prevent disease and keep

[8:53] our communities clean, safe and

[8:55] beautiful. And whereas the people

[8:58] employed by Wasatch Front Waste to

[8:59] Recycling DI District make significant

[9:02] contributions to the safety, health, and

[9:05] welfare of our residents by properly

[9:07] protect collecting and hauling over 250

[9:11] million pounds of garbage recycling and

[9:13] composting annually. And whereas with an

[9:16] area spanning over 750 square miles of

[9:19] land and thousands of miles of roads,

[9:22] the residents of Salt Lake County depend

[9:24] on the collection and proper disposal of

[9:26] waste, recyclables, and compostables.

[9:29] And whereas the proper collection,

[9:31] disposal, and maintenance of waste,

[9:33] recyclables, and compostables are vital

[9:36] to preventing disease and unsightly

[9:38] litter. And whereas the solid waste

[9:40] industry employs thousands of people

[9:42] around the United States and they should

[9:44] be recognized and elevated because they

[9:46] provide essential services to the

[9:48] communities they serve. And whereas

[9:50] Wasatch Front Waste and Recycling

[9:52] District values and celebrates our local

[9:54] solid waste industry workers for their

[9:56] commitment to our residents, businesses,

[9:58] and communities. And we want to elevate

[10:01] solid waste history workers and the

[10:03] profession as a whole. Now therefore, I,

[10:06] Emily Gray, by virtue of the authority

[10:08] vested in me as chairperson of the board

[10:09] of trustees of Wasatch Front Waste and

[10:11] Recycling District, do hereby proclaim

[10:14] June 14th to the 20th, 2026 as Waste and

[10:17] Recycling Workers Week in the Wasatch

[10:19] Front Waste and Recycling District and

[10:21] encourage all residents to join me in

[10:23] thanking the hardworking community to

[10:24] ensure our communities are kept safe,

[10:27] clean, and healthy.

[10:29] Thank you very much.

[10:36] So, I'd like to suggest that we adopt

[10:38] this and then um take a picture and I

[10:41] would like to shake everybody's hand as

[10:42] we walk out. I really just very much

[10:44] appreciate all the do. Then Evan would

[10:46] like to say a few words too maybe

[10:47] before. Sorry.

[10:49] >> Yeah. So, just briefly um I really

[10:51] appreciate the board's consideration and

[10:53] adopting this proclamation. This is

[10:55] something you know in past roles as

[10:57] well. This is there's actually a website

[10:59] with waste and recycling workers week

[11:01] that has templates and various

[11:03] activities that that is kind of

[11:05] celebrating as part of of this national.

[11:08] So, since I've been on on board with

[11:10] this organization now about nine months,

[14:55] >> Any opposed?

[14:57] All right. So, I have those uh minutes

[14:59] approved.

[15:01] >> All right. Then let's move on to uh

[15:04] general manager report by Evan.

[15:08] >> Yes. Thank you. Good morning everyone.

[15:09] I'm going to provide us a few vertal

[15:11] updates and then largely I'll focus on

[15:14] an update to the NGIS or priorities

[15:17] goals and initiatives and then just kind

[15:19] of speak through some of those updates.

[15:20] So just for your reference on that

[15:23] spreadsheet and as published in the

[15:25] packet the the yellow highlights are

[15:28] indicating items that are have been

[15:30] updated since the last published PGIs

[15:33] which was uh during the the board retrie

[15:36] updates in that

[15:38] providing verbal updates. So we have a

[15:40] lot going on and uh most of our new

[15:44] programs and platforms have transitioned

[15:48] very well. So, as of week four, we went

[15:52] live with appointing pay. Many thanks to

[15:55] Helen and her team for really the the

[15:58] planning, a lot of planning to to make

[16:01] that transition successful and

[16:03] integration. We've worked through a

[16:05] couple minor hiccups, but overall it's gone very well and it's been a very

[16:09] positive transition. Um, so happy to if

[16:13] there are concerns or people are hearing

[16:14] things about that, please please let us

[16:16] know. I'll be happy to address those if

[16:18] there are any items related to that

[16:21] >> if people um so maybe there's somebody

[16:25] who is not yet like updating their

[16:27] automatic payment like myself.

[16:29] >> So when would we find that out like when

[16:31] would you be aware like when you're

[16:35] starting to see like payments on the

[16:37] like would we already know that or is

[16:39] that forthcoming? The first uh payment

[16:43] for pay will be at the last day. Um but

[16:47] this week actually I'm going to go

[16:49] through and compare

[16:51] try to get a list of the registered out

[16:53] of pay customers in point and compare it

[16:56] to the pay customers that we knew were

[16:58] pay before pay and then um try to reach

[17:01] out to them by email and just remind

[17:03] them what they need to go inside.

[17:07] Oh, that's already taking control. Yeah,

[17:11] >> as somebody who puts that out of their

[17:13] mind, I I really

[17:17] >> and and we've been waiting lately, I

[17:20] think, for the entirety of this year.

[17:21] >> Yeah.

[17:22] >> So, we'll we'll look to kind of

[17:24] reinstitute those

[17:26] maybe June

[17:29] >> and and that too. So, that's

[17:32] talked about during the retreat. plans

[17:34] to go live with postcard bills uh

[17:36] effective at the beginning of June. So

[17:39] the May services invoice will will be

[17:42] sent out for those who are not on paper

[17:43] list will be sent out via postcard.

[17:47] It's in these PGIs anticipated cost

[17:50] savings moving forward

[17:53] is about 191,000

[17:56] annually for for this just that

[17:58] commission.

[18:00] Uh a few other items, we have also

[18:02] rolled out the new specialty curbside

[18:05] collection services program. So that's

[18:06] the program where folks can uh year

[18:09] round submit a request through our our

[18:11] website which which Gail and Rene have

[18:13] worked on to make that very streamlined

[18:16] and straightforward in my opinion for

[18:18] the curbside pickup and scheduling for

[18:20] mattresses, tires, appliances, air

[18:23] conditioners, etc. We went live May 1st

[18:27] with that program and since then we

[18:29] we've had about two weeks of the program

[18:31] which it has uh picked up a lot of

[18:33] interest and we've done I think the

[18:35] first week was 14 separate pickups.

[18:37] We're right now focusing those on one

[18:40] day per week for for the pickup and we

[18:42] kind of get the program rolled out. Uh

[18:44] but as of the first week and last week,

[18:47] we had picked up a total of 10

[18:49] mattresses,

[18:51] eight freon appliances, 11 non-free

[18:54] appliances, lots of hot water heaters,

[18:56] surprisingly, and about three towers. So

[18:59] we're staging those out in the room here

[19:04] and we're basically working on getting

[19:06] contracts established for those

[19:07] materials, which they will all

[19:09] ultimately be recycled. There's a

[19:10] mattress recycler. We're working on a

[19:13] scrap metal recycler. Uh the tires will

[19:15] go to GSL tire recycling. It's Stanford

[19:19] greater solid. So working through all

[19:22] those pieces has gone uh very well. And

[19:24] we're also retrieving several items um

[19:28] in some pieces that are not acceptable

[19:29] in the scrap program, but we're pulling

[19:31] some of those back from the scrap

[19:32] program and also those containers as

[19:35] well. So once they're full, we'll haul

[19:37] those to those facilities and and

[19:39] maximize our efficiencies instead of

[19:41] hauling individual warrants.

[19:44] >> I'm really excited about this. I feel

[19:45] like we're meeting a need that it's out

[19:48] there that we

[19:51] >> Yeah. And we'll continue to track Rene

[19:54] has worked with her team to develop a

[19:55] heat map as to where the requests are

[19:57] coming from as well. So we'll report

[20:00] more information as that program further

[20:03] gets it this information. So, few other

[20:06] quick updates. A few months ago, I spoke

[20:08] towards the mahogany radius radio tower

[20:10] upgrades that we were not were not

[20:12] anticipating this year uh as a rather

[20:14] large capital um costs. And with the

[20:18] tower upgrade, which should be shared

[20:20] with the county plus new um radio

[20:24] frequency, the new radio that's been

[20:25] selling the truck, we look at about

[20:27] $400,000

[20:28] for that total cost for the year. We are

[20:31] actively evaluating an alternative

[20:33] option which would be tied in through

[20:36] the Verizon network through a pushto

[20:38] talk radio methodology. There's a lot of

[20:42] um government um

[20:46] cost reductions as part of that and so

[20:48] the quote and David's been actually

[20:50] working on this uh we looks like we

[20:53] we're likely to move forward with that.

[20:54] Right now we have sort of pilot. Uh but

[20:57] the capital cost to get the the mounts

[21:00] for these radios is only about 25 to

[21:03] $30,000 total.

[21:06] And that would be the only capital cost

[21:07] we would incur. And the ongoing cost is

[21:10] no more than $2,500 per month.

[21:14] >> And so looking at a break even is over a

[21:16] decade. If we were to get push to talk

[21:18] radios as opposed to supporting these

[21:21] radio tower capital upgrades and all the

[21:24] brand new radios met to purchase and

[21:26] install, we'll likely add the PGIs as a

[21:29] onetime cost savings. But looking at all

[21:31] avenues to to reduce and avoid those

[21:34] costs and appears it'll be just as

[21:37] reliable and will satisfy our needs as a

[21:42] second responder, not a first responder.

[21:45] and soon. So that's another update wants

[21:47] to provide as well. We'll provide more

[21:49] as we kind of get that more of a final

[21:51] plan and move that forward. So hopefully

[21:53] avoiding those extra capital costs that

[21:55] were not originally planned or budgeted.

[21:58] The final item that I'll get to before I

[22:01] future

[22:02] on that this was a countywide. We had to

[22:05] upgrade, right? Correct. And and Warford

[22:08] can decide not to join that. So I

[22:11] understand yes we've looked at we don't

[22:12] have any ongoing lease or agreements as

[22:15] part of this tower. Uh so we can and

[22:17] I've already talked with the county to a

[22:19] degree. So the land uses this. Public

[22:22] works uses this. Parks and rec county

[22:24] uses this. By us backing out it will

[22:27] increase the cost to other users of the

[22:29] system. We haven't officially backed out

[22:31] yet. But again, uh really the emphasis

[22:34] on saving costs and and meeting our

[22:36] needs

[22:38] something prioritize and evaluate

[22:41] further

[22:42] >> substantial.

[22:44] I'm surprised that there other entities

[22:45] wouldn't be doing the same.

[22:48] they're all doing the same research that

[22:50] you're guys doing because

[22:52] >> so more to come on that but that's

[22:54] another big uh also avoidance I would

[22:57] say that we're looking at part of the

[23:01] uh the final item for the PGIs we also

[23:04] actually have been invited

[23:07] to submit a proposal for Draper city

[23:11] we recently learned that Draper city is

[23:14] evaluating

[23:16] disbanding their in-house collection uh

[23:20] and funding program for waste and

[23:23] recycling. Uh they're planning to issue

[23:26] an RFP. We don't know what those

[23:28] services or what that scope entails.

[23:32] But I also want to be very sensitive

[23:33] that we're not actively

[23:35] um

[23:38] entering into competition with with

[23:40] other so currently they're they're

[23:43] providing the service as a public

[23:44] service. And so we're looking at how

[23:47] would we best issue a proposal and maybe

[23:50] we

[23:52] the opportunity to join the district

[23:54] service area in submitting a competitive

[23:57] proposal but wanted to update this this

[24:00] body and see if there's any feedback or

[24:02] thoughts. We still haven't seen them

[24:03] post the RFP, but I do see as an

[24:06] opportunity for us to potentially expand

[24:08] our service area and um offset some of

[24:12] the um

[24:15] losses that we're likely to incur from

[24:17] airman's active pursuit to the throw out

[24:19] the organization, but also to maximize

[24:22] the counties of scale and

[24:24] bring on um some additional services for

[24:30] any feedback or thoughts on that

[24:31] approach, Again, we haven't seen RFP. We

[24:34] don't know if it's targeting private

[24:35] sector, but um a city manager we did

[24:38] reach out and invited us to see.

[24:41] >> I say continue on.

[24:44] >> Sure.

[24:45] >> I think each of those.

[24:46] >> Yeah. Yeah. I mean, um and it makes

[24:49] sense. I I mean, I would imagine that

[24:51] the process would be different because

[24:53] we aren't we aren't submitting like a

[24:55] contract proposal. It would be more an

[24:56] invitation to join the district. So, so

[25:00] I was between you and Rachel figure out

[25:02] the best copy to do that. But yeah, I

[25:03] think that's fantastic. I'm good to

[25:06] pursue.

[25:13] » Well, I'll keep everyone informed as as

[25:16] that would actually

[25:18] likely go this way. So, on on the PGIs, a lot of these are

[25:24] status updates. Some are not necessarily

[25:26] tied to quantitative cost savings. Um

[25:30] but we have you know continuing to move

[25:31] forward on a lot of pieces. Uh one is is

[25:35] the first one is the OG-2 organizational

[25:38] initiative is looking at our charter

[25:41] serviceability. So we are planning to

[25:43] look at that and pursue that as we

[25:45] discussed during January retreat. So

[25:47] nothing major there on that front. uh

[25:50] admin 1.1 we have um through Renee and

[25:54] Hazel they've developed a first draft

[25:56] employee handbook that will ultimately

[25:58] consolidate over two dozen individual

[26:01] SOP teams for streamlining our internal

[26:04] uh processes and and make it easier for

[26:06] staff myself or management team to

[26:09] interpret and ultimately have a more

[26:12] comprehensive central document that'll

[26:14] be easier to maintain and update moving

[26:16] forward.

[26:18] Few other items on here

[26:22] 1.5.

[26:24] Uh we have continued to really increase

[26:26] our presentation and the way which we're

[26:30] visualizing our data. Um we've got other

[26:33] priorities that have kind of included

[26:35] some of those initiative. But I think

[26:37] the board is probably continually seen

[26:38] some of the presentation materials are

[26:41] um looking improved and enhancing that

[26:44] capacity. We have a few items here.

[26:46] We'll go through as well. Um, admin 2,

[26:49] uh, we are actually looking at, um, we

[26:52] we've cancelled that, um, withdrawal

[26:55] impact feasibility study, but we have

[26:57] actually moved forward with a financial

[27:00] impacts analysis that we should have an

[27:03] initial draft here by the end of this

[27:06] month that appropriate final report by

[27:08] mid June. We may look at some adding

[27:11] some items to that, but that's something

[27:12] that we wanted to look at from

[27:14] independent food recovery analysis and

[27:15] really helps better understand um the

[27:18] potential or

[27:20] identified impacts as part of the

[27:23] ongoing discussions. Um Helen and I will

[27:26] be working on a variet

[27:28] and I will work on recycling processing

[27:30] RFP. Hoping to get that out mid July

[27:33] that's admin

[27:34] three.

[27:36] I'm going to skip through a couple. We

[27:38] don't spend too much time on this.

[27:41] Uh, admin 7 is is us looking at

[27:44] comprehensively our uh, information

[27:47] technology invoices and some of the

[27:49] categories which we're getting build. U,

[27:52] we've hidden a couple columns here, but

[27:54] our January invoice was nearly $20,000.

[27:57] Our April invoice was less than $18,000.

[28:01] So, we're still identifying new cost

[28:04] savings initiatives. Thus far, for this

[28:06] year, we've identified nearly 22,000 in

[28:09] savings. And for next year ongoing be

[28:12] about 26,000 and that's anticipated to

[28:14] continue to increase for us looking at

[28:17] our IC related support from the county.

[28:21] Uh admin 9 is a brand new item that

[28:24] we're looking at basically everything.

[28:26] So um admin 9 there's more information

[28:29] some columns here on the screen. Um,

[28:34] early on I noticed that nearly every one

[28:35] of them since had its own individual

[28:38] personal printer and so we took a really

[28:42] hard look at those. Some of those

[28:43] printers were color, some of those were

[28:44] black and white. The color printer

[28:46] buying new cartridges to replace those

[28:49] was about $1,000 per printer. So, we've

[28:52] actually consolidated and ultimately we

[28:55] have taken out of service five of those

[28:58] color printers.

[29:00] We're still looking at a few of those,

[29:01] but some of them we need for certain

[29:03] functions within the organization and a

[29:04] lot of them are either replaced with

[29:06] black and white printers or we have a

[29:08] main printer in our management printer

[29:11] and we're working utilization of that.

[29:13] So small amount, but we've basically

[29:16] estimated about $5,000 this year and

[29:18] then ongoing for savings of that. So

[29:24] let's see a few things so I can uh the

[29:29] line of source financial assessment and

[29:31] I'll be working on that hope to get that

[29:32] RFP out July or August. uh and and what

[29:36] we're looking at it's likely that what

[29:38] we budgeted for may not be enough. So,

[29:41] we're going to need to evaluate that,

[29:42] but we're tracking our financials in a

[29:44] way that um I think it's it's readily um

[29:50] I I could say that we're not going to

[29:51] have to come back for amended budget

[29:52] this year and we would come back for

[29:54] amended budget if we were going to

[29:56] exceed the original expenses. So, we'll

[29:59] track that and and keep that um going as

[30:02] well.

[30:04] unless the I let more of these

[30:10] um we're still looking at greenway

[30:11] subscriptions. Our scrap program will

[30:14] probably provide a more detailed update

[30:16] next month um or or shortly thereafter

[30:19] but on scrap this year we have as of May

[30:22] 8th have averaged 79 containers surfaced

[30:26] per day which compared to previous years

[30:29] was average of about 60 containers a

[30:31] day. We are well above 25% increased

[30:34] service this year alone. Um

[30:38] very good on this graphic.

[30:40] >> Are we seeing fewer complaints or any

[30:44] more positive feedback from the

[30:45] residents for this at all? Do we know?

[30:48] >> It's a great question. I don't know

[30:49] anything or you know we're playing the

[30:52] central drop off event. We're doing

[30:55] >> I would say it's it's mysteriously

[30:57] quieter

[30:58] than than historically been confused. So

[31:01] I think that's a good thing.

[31:02] >> It's a really good thing.

[31:04] >> I think so. And I think I think with the new programs that we're offering,

[31:08] right, the new the central drop off that

[31:12] we're we're advertising for those cities

[31:15] that

[31:19] we are seeing some limited volatility in

[31:21] our seasonal drivers. So I think we've

[31:23] kind of dropped a couple. We're adding

[31:25] more on as we can. Um I think right now

[31:27] we're sitting around 12 or 11. Um we

[31:31] originally hired a full team as part of

[31:33] that but the team is really helping out

[31:36] Ca the Scout program working with Dave

[31:38] and many others. So it's done very well.

[31:40] We're not looking at um adding

[31:42] recruitments for backing some of those

[31:45] seasonal drivers that have

[31:49] but overall currently going extremely

[31:51] well um as as a

[31:56] let's see

[31:58] op five operations

[32:02] uh we have actually started a second can

[32:05] arm

[32:06] uh which we've done a limited degree in

[32:08] the past right now um pretty good. So,

[32:11] we kind of had to pause that. But

[32:13] basically, we have some of our drivers

[32:14] going around and looking for a second

[32:17] out and we come back and make sure that

[32:19] they're are they are they getting

[32:21] drilled appropriately for um if we

[32:24] identify that that they don't have a

[32:25] second can of do a separate work order

[32:28] and our container team goes out a second

[32:30] time and verifies that that second can.

[32:34] And so once that is completed, then we

[32:36] actually uh add to the bill um and

[32:40] correct the billing for those second

[32:41] camps. We do find that some people say

[32:44] they're building second can or vice

[32:45] versa. But year to date uh what we've

[32:48] identified is an additional 36,000 in

[32:51] revenue as part of that initiative. Then

[32:53] ongoing next year given people don't um

[32:56] remove their second cam will be an

[32:58] additional 46,000 in revenue. So that

[33:00] number should continue to grow

[33:02] throughout this calendar year as we get

[33:04] back to the second cand.

[33:08] » Yeah, that's huge. Do you know

[33:11] >> like what how we got to that place? That

[33:13] is that's

[33:15] >> were they stealing cans from someone and

[33:17] like I mean how are they getting these

[33:21] >> I know some suspicions of maybe

[33:24] so we got a lot of people that move

[33:27] homes account changes

[33:31] >> so in in the refunds that we we offer

[33:33] and those are also checked by our car

[33:35] team people call and say I don't I just

[33:36] moved here but I don't have a second can

[33:39] so potentially the neighbors take that

[33:40] can when someone moves out or the former

[33:43] homeowners take the can to their new

[33:45] residents,

[33:46] >> right? So the transition doesn't happen

[33:48] and so cracking every one of them for

[33:51] all of those would take a lot of time.

[33:54] Uh but I always ask him like when this

[33:56] refund they never have a can where it go

[34:00] >> so it goes somewhere else somewhere

[34:01] somehow.

[34:02] >> Can you ship them?

[34:05] >> Right chips but our drugs don't have the

[34:07] arms of the readers. That is a

[34:09] technology we could look at in the

[34:10] future as well. And our drivers, you

[34:13] know, have them collecting a thousand

[34:15] cans a day to value every one of those

[34:18] on the ground. So,

[34:21] >> okay. So, how many total cans did you

[34:23] find so far

[34:26] >> that we're not billing for?

[34:27] >> Well, we've added billing. So, 192 trash

[34:30] cans, second cans.

[34:31] >> Yeah.

[34:32] >> Um 29 recycle cans and water.

[34:37] And so that's you know equating to a

[34:39] difference in monthly billing but the

[34:41] chart was very hard to see on the the

[34:43] far right hand side where we calculated

[34:44] the the additional revenue we'll see

[34:46] this year and then ongoing revenue for

[34:48] 202

[34:51] so we'll continue to do

[34:55] probably a lot more out there but sneaky

[34:58] >> yeah

[34:59] just

[35:01] >> so that's a good one as well and then

[35:03] final you just go to the the bottom line

[35:06] rene the bottom. So when I first

[35:10] introduced this and there's a lot of

[35:12] times we we had savings up front but the

[35:15] first published amounts where we showed

[35:17] quantitative savings on March 18 and

[35:21] originally was about 500,000 one time in

[35:24] 2026. So we increased that to about uh

[35:27] close to 660,000 this year. So we

[35:29] increased it by about 159,000.

[35:32] ongoing for this year. That's identified

[35:35] is again about 445,000. We've increased

[35:38] that by roughly 250,000

[35:41] since the initial PGIs were published in

[35:43] March of early this year. And then we

[35:46] discussed earlier the savings from

[35:50] 2025. We've carried over that 1.82 I

[35:54] believe we've carried over a portion of

[35:56] that that was further described in this

[35:58] miscellaneous column. But 1.24 24 is

[36:00] continuing ongoing savings. That's part

[36:03] of that. So, so the upper area is what

[36:05] we've identified this year. The bottom

[36:08] area is what we've identified this year

[36:10] plus the ongoing savings that we've

[36:12] continued to realize from last year.

[36:15] Those were riffs, relication positions,

[36:19] optimizing routing, pricing proximity

[36:21] models. And so this year our total one

[36:25] time for this year's cost savings we're

[36:28] almost at 1.9 million and then the

[36:31] ongoing of those as we identify in these

[36:33] columns we're close to uh 1.7 but we're

[36:36] at 1.685. So we'll continue to update

[36:39] these bring these back track these and further out with this cost savings.

[36:44] We've not added in uh the video review

[36:47] of reported miss pickup. So those will

[36:49] be things we'll look at uh I think at

[36:51] the end of June of the year as well. So

[36:54] this will continue to evolve and we'll

[36:56] continue to add and and documenting the

[36:59] where we can quantify the cost savings

[37:01] or throughout the year.

[37:03] >> Fantastic.

[37:04] >> Yeah. Impressive

[37:08] job well done. Yeah, it's largely a huge

[37:11] team out there and everyone is really

[37:13] helping a variety of all of these.

[37:18] >> That's all I have. Any questions?

[37:24] » Yeah, really great. We're all everyone

[37:27] pass

[37:30] really really great.

[37:31] >> All right, Helen

[37:33] report. So first quarter 2026

[37:36] um first slide we have as usual is our

[37:39] revenues. They look about what we would

[37:40] expect for this time of year we are a

[37:44] little bit low on these revenues at the

[37:46] bottom there and that is that is late

[37:48] fees and as Adam said we have way late

[37:52] fees for the last few months and we'll

[37:53] continue for maybe another two months or

[37:55] so. So that will remain just a little

[37:57] bit low. Otherwise everything is what is

[38:01] expected. So

[38:05] there you have questions about this

[38:06] slide.

[38:09] Okay. Uh the next slide is our personnel

[38:12] expenses and

[38:15] um they look a little bit low but we

[38:17] haven't started paying by 10

[38:21] um yet scrap program when April June

[38:24] come around

[38:26] for that program. U miscellaneous

[38:29] benefits includes employee awards and

[38:32] tuition reimbursements. And we did have

[38:34] the Apple award this year which was a

[38:36] cash award for the first year. And so

[38:39] that is paid out in February. And that's

[38:41] why you see that 58% there um for

[38:44] miscellaneous benefits that has been

[38:46] spent for the year of the budget. But

[38:48] that's why that's this year.

[38:52] There any

[38:55] comments on this slide?

[38:59] Okay, next we have our other operating

[39:01] expenses.

[39:03] I see we spent about 21% so far this

[39:05] year. Um, as I go down this list, things

[39:09] are looking pretty much as expected.

[39:14] We have our bank fees that are at 32%

[39:18] um for the first quarter and we foresee

[39:20] that continue to increase. established

[39:22] budgeted and the anticipation that we

[39:24] would charge that transaction fee that

[39:26] we've decided not to charge this year.

[39:28] So that'll give everyone a good idea of

[39:30] where that is going forward since

[39:33] um but you will obviously see increase

[39:37] higher than what we would have otherwise

[39:39] expected.

[39:41] Let's see our professional services are

[39:44] a little bit higher this year as well.

[39:46] That's because we've had um you know a

[39:48] little bit higher attorney fees and we

[39:50] have engaged a lobbyist uh and so those

[39:53] were anticipated

[39:56] this year that we can budget for

[39:57] especially the lobbyist. So that's why

[39:59] that's just a little bit higher than

[40:00] like around 25% which is what I was

[40:02] expecting.

[40:07] Other than that

[40:11] that's about all I was going to comment

[40:12] on your questions on this slide.

[40:17] Okay.

[40:19] Um moving on to the next slide. We have

[40:22] our capital purchases. This is the exact

[40:24] same thing that you were able to see

[40:26] when we had the retrieve. It's the same

[40:29] information. We have not had further

[40:31] capital purchases since the retreat.

[40:33] However, we do expect to get um some

[40:36] trucks this this month. So, I think the

[40:39] team will show managers capital

[40:41] purchases and we'll be able to put those

[40:43] in service

[40:46] with this slide for this this particular

[40:48] time.

[40:50] of those we have encumbered

[40:55] a little close to $2 million that will

[40:58] paid out on those assets do come in a

[41:00] lot of those trucks were ordered early

[41:02] to middle of last year

[41:05] and that's I point out to the next slide

[41:07] that helps to explain some of the

[41:10] returns

[41:13] » okay and then the next slide is our cash

[41:16] balances and you can see It's higher

[41:19] than it's been for years with this

[41:21] slide. Um, and I do want to remind you

[41:24] as Evan just pointed out, we do have

[41:27] encumbered money that hasn't been spent

[41:29] yet for capital purchases that was

[41:30] anticipated. Have those come in as

[41:33] expected. Obviously, that cash balance

[41:35] will be lower. Um, and then also monthly

[41:39] billing. Monthly billing is boosting our

[41:41] cash

[41:43] balances coming forward. Prior to this,

[41:46] in prior years, you would have seen a

[41:47] lower balance because we would have just

[41:49] filled in either March for the first

[41:51] quarter and that cash started coming

[41:54] yet, but we've gotten cash for the

[41:56] January and February and seeing so

[42:00] that's why we're seeing this. So when we pay for those trucks at the end

[42:05] of the month that will drop down

[42:19] » that boost our interest revenue which is

[42:20] also

[42:21] >> yes that and the next slide is our

[42:25] refundies. Um I changed it a little bit.

[42:28] And again, just a little boring Excel

[42:32] table in here. Um, but we had $19,000 of

[42:36] refunds for the first quarter of 2026.

[42:39] Um, 19 customers overpaid, resulting in

[42:42] $4,394

[42:44] of refunds. We did have five people pay

[42:47] closed accounts.

[42:49] We had three contact us and say they

[42:52] additional plan that they did not have.

[42:53] We already discussed that we need that

[42:55] to happen. Um, we did have 10 customers

[42:58] who were paying legitimately and started

[43:01] them late.

[43:04] And so we refund them.

[43:08] >> Um, we did have six people pay us an

[43:10] error. They paid us to spend their

[43:12] utility for possibly their mortgage.

[43:15] That's

[43:17] >> Yeah, that's $500. Looks like mortgages.

[43:20] And then we have our home that was

[43:22] demolished where we start looking for

[43:24] state

[43:26] service at that time. So even though

[43:31] our 19,000 do we understand why people

[43:34] are overpaid by such large amounts of

[43:40] >> um you know honestly I think there are

[43:42] several reasons. I think sometimes it's

[43:44] a mistake. I think a lot of times people

[43:46] do it on purpose. They're going to go on

[43:47] vacation. They decide to pay in advance.

[43:50] they don't have the data how much it's

[43:52] actually going to be. Um we do have

[43:54] people

[43:56] I believe um who do it on purpose. I

[43:59] think there are some people who kind of

[44:00] give it a little bit of a savings um

[44:04] they don't pay a little bit later they

[44:07] come back and ask us for

[44:09] that happen.

[44:13] Yeah, administrator issue for us, but

[44:17] we're in post. So,

[44:20] all right. Uh, next we have our

[44:22] maintenance costs.

[44:24] This one shows how much our cost for

[44:27] maintenance

[44:29] order. We did anticipate part of it. We

[44:31] had increases that we knew about from

[44:34] county shop labor and I think everybody

[44:36] knows that we use the county for our

[44:38] maintenance. Um and our shop labor

[44:40] increased and as well as cost of parts

[44:44] maintenance and

[44:47] um as noted here we had a quarterly week

[44:50] meeting a working group that in an

[44:53] endeavor to identify cost savings

[44:55] measures and proactively identify areas

[44:57] for improvement. We had the first one

[44:59] was early just

[45:02] and in the past we've met and the week

[45:06] increases we can expect in the budget

[45:09] that we

[45:11] meeting with them and the details and

[45:14] figure out

[45:17] is that something you initiated?

[45:20] >> Yes.

[45:22] Correct. Yeah.

[45:25] I'm assuming that once we start seeing

[45:27] cost savings from that that will be

[45:28] added to the GI

[45:30] >> correct it is one of the categories are

[45:32] going to be a little more difficult

[45:34] in some cases but there is more of a

[45:38] kind of a little discussion later on

[45:40] this meeting's agenda as well so this

[45:42] will be a good precursor to that

[45:45] >> I appreciate strengthening that

[45:48] relationship so we can

[45:52] » okay Um, next slide is our fuel and

[45:55] mileage. And in 2026, we're paying a

[45:59] little bit more in fuel. You can see

[46:00] that in 2025,

[46:02] we pay quite a bit less in fuel from

[46:05] 2024. It's creeping up again. Of course,

[46:08] we all know there are things going on

[46:10] geogically. that are causing some

[46:12] mistake.

[46:14] But on miles driven at the table at the

[46:18] very bottom where it says miles on the

[46:21] right hand side, um we're about in line

[46:24] with what we've had in past years. In

[46:26] 2025, we had driven 219,000 miles in

[46:29] 2026 so far, 223 almost 224,000 miles.

[46:35] Um, but we did purchase some diesel

[46:37] trucks instead of CNG. You can kind of

[46:39] see a little bit about6

[46:42] on the usage of fuel because of that

[46:46] purchase and we'll see that more of

[46:47] course as we go on

[46:49] some diesel trucks coming in this work.

[46:52] So are there questions, comments about

[46:56] this?

[46:56] >> So why more diesel trucks instead of the

[47:00] CNG? Um the capital costs

[47:04] have become a lot different. We're

[47:06] seeing a Jeep trucks the cost increased

[47:09] quite a bit and it was just

[47:11] significantly less for us to go and just

[47:13] the diesel trucks. And then we also had

[47:16] um information that the diesel fuel

[47:19] prices might start decreasing. Of course

[47:21] that hasn't happened because as we

[47:23] discussed there are other things at play

[47:25] here that's going to help but we

[47:27] anticipated cost for those. and also a

[47:31] uh problem to resell value on CMG trucks

[47:34] as well as we have more expensive to buy

[47:39] things

[47:40] >> and we can't get any money out of what

[47:42] get minimal money.

[47:44] >> Oh

[47:45] >> yeah.

[47:45] >> they're hard to sell.

[47:46] >> Nobody wants them. But

[47:49] >> I guess we need to start our own

[47:50] biodiesel factory.

[47:54] We

[47:54] >> say something like that to Evan and

[47:56] we're mixing it up.

[47:59] That that is correct though the the

[48:01] furnace price is is less but the resale

[48:03] has been very challenging and you were

[48:05] in your earlier house on the options of

[48:08] these trucks but in order to fuel CG to

[48:10] have an infrastructure and a lot of the

[48:13] small teams or places that are trying to

[48:15] run this don't have it yet. So wow, we

[48:18] will be looking at this and you know we

[48:20] actually attended a complete technology

[48:22] conference earlier this month and

[48:25] looking at things that I kind of

[48:26] mentioned before this total cost of

[48:28] ownership or TCO is kind of the

[48:30] abbreviated action of of discussing that

[48:33] but looking at the cost of diesel

[48:35] compared to just the cost of CNG over

[48:37] the the lifestyle of that truck. there

[48:40] could be a break even point or that

[48:42] makes it uh just file to continue to to

[48:46] purchase CG moving forward. So we'll be

[48:49] looking at that this year and for next

[48:50] year as well and I think it still is

[48:53] ready nowify our fleets to a degree as

[48:56] well. Right now we'll be running about

[48:58] four diesel trucks. We will have we're

[49:01] adding about 12 to that

[49:04] our scrap truck those are all diesel as

[49:06] well.

[49:12] That's all I have for you today.

[49:13] >> Thank you so much, Helen, for you.

[49:17] >> All right. Uh Renee, um we have a

[49:21] presentation from Renee about uh

[49:23] University of Utah Recycling Survey.

[49:26] >> Yes. So, um so this happened actually

[49:29] back in October of last year. Um we we

[49:32] did a partnership with University of

[49:34] Utah's Masters in Public Policy program

[49:37] and um they sent out the survey request

[49:39] to all of our residents via electronic

[49:42] only. Um so it was email and pushed

[49:45] through our app and we had um 4523

[49:49] that completed the survey. So about

[49:52] six%. It was actually double the

[49:55] response there than it was in the prior

[49:57] year's um recycle survey. So that was pretty good. Um so I'm just

[50:01] going to go over a couple of the highle

[50:03] findings that they that they found. Um

[50:06] so what they found from the uh survey

[50:09] was that 90% of our respondents said

[50:12] recycling really is important to them.

[50:15] Um and their confidence is high but

[50:17] there's still key misunderstandings

[50:19] which I think we we hear that you know

[50:21] through when we go to councils when when

[50:23] James is out speaking to you know our

[50:25] schools you know specifically around uh

[50:28] thin steel cans um plastic bags is still

[50:32] a confusing topic. um glass, scrap

[50:37] metal. So, those were those were some

[50:39] key topics and and we're really excited

[50:41] about this information because we're

[50:43] able to use this with um with our

[50:45] sustainability and um do a little more

[50:47] education on on that, right? Um and

[50:51] surprisingly, 37% of the respondents

[50:55] felt confident that the recyclables are

[50:58] actually being recycled. So, yeah. So,

[51:01] and and I know Ellen and I just in a few

[51:03] uh you know council meetings that we

[51:05] recently have gone to folks actually

[51:07] asked that question. They're like are

[51:09] recycles actually being recycled? But

[51:11] that gave us an opportunity to explain

[51:13] yes they are. And um one of the things

[51:15] we're excited about also in that new

[51:17] seasonal container, you know, collection

[51:19] program, you know, like the tires, those

[51:21] are going to be recycled and used for

[51:24] other items. Same with the mattresses.

[51:26] And so it helps us divert more more

[51:28] items away from the landfill. So, it

[51:30] might be nice to include that in some of

[51:32] the messaging for that program, too.

[51:35] Yep. Good idea.

[51:38] >> Been a couple of years since we heard

[51:40] that, oh, China's not taking recyclables

[51:43] anymore, so it's all going to the

[51:44] landfill anyway. So, that's why there's

[51:46] that perception out.

[51:52] And then um most of the barriers that

[51:55] the residents um that responded found

[51:57] were what they felt were unclear or hard

[52:00] to access information. So um what's

[52:03] interesting is you know it leads into

[52:05] the next bullet point which is they want

[52:07] simple accessible uh guidance. You know

[52:10] those those stickers that we put on our

[52:12] recycle bins I think have really helped.

[52:15] So they want more of that and and it's funny to me because I'm like oh my

[52:20] gosh. So they they want, you know,

[52:23] mobile scanning apps. And so that was a

[52:25] key indicator to me that we're not

[52:27] advertising our app that we have

[52:29] >> as well as as we could. So again, this

[52:32] was a great learning tool for us to know

[52:34] um you know, what what to focus on. And

[52:37] as you all recall from our our last

[52:39] board meeting, you know, communication

[52:41] was our was like our opening topic. And

[52:44] um some I just wanted to give you all a

[52:45] couple of things that we're working on

[52:47] um from giving getting this information

[52:49] and also um since the last board meeting

[52:52] um you know we're looking at creating a

[52:56] customer and communication playbook and

[52:58] I'm about halfway done with that and

[53:00] then I will review that and we'll just

[53:02] uh then spread it you know throughout

[53:05] the organization and some of those items

[53:07] include um you know monthly uh social

[53:10] posts that we can leave to the city that

[53:11] it's easy for them to communicate

[53:14] Um, let's see here. Uh, you know, some

[53:17] of the topics that that we thought about

[53:19] initially was like what really happens

[53:20] to your recycling. Um, you know, top

[53:23] contamination items, myth busting, and

[53:26] then, um, quick visual recycle guides.

[53:28] Just really starting to get some of that

[53:30] stuff out there. And, um, and we've

[53:31] learned that residents really like

[53:33] videos. That was another thing from, um,

[53:35] you know, our our board meeting, one of

[53:37] our talk talking sessions that that we

[53:40] learned. And so um so we're gonna have a

[53:42] few stars within the organization. We

[53:44] just don't know yet. So so I think we'll

[53:47] have fun with that. But um but yeah, so

[53:49] this is a great segue I think into um

[53:52] some information that James is still

[53:53] going to share with you next because uh

[53:56] he he does an excellent job of giving

[53:57] out the community, the schools and and

[54:00] um so we're just we're just going to

[54:01] focus on that a little bit more over

[54:03] this next year and just just really, you

[54:04] know, give those those uh those

[54:06] playbooks out to our cities to make it

[54:08] easy for them.

[54:10] Thank you so much. Remy, did did the

[54:12] University of Utah reach out to us? Did

[54:14] we reach out to them? How was this set

[54:16] up?

[54:16] >> So, they reached out to us. Um, yeah, it

[54:19] was it was actually through Pam because

[54:20] Pam had um had graduated from their M's

[54:23] program. So, she's part of the alumni

[54:25] and um so then um I went ahead and

[54:28] partnered with the leader over there in

[54:29] the research group and yeah, it was

[54:31] excellent where they they did this whole

[54:33] report and it was it was great.

[54:35] >> This is fantastic.

[54:36] >> It didn't cost us anything. No, it is

[54:39] really

[54:41] so much

[54:41] >> and they presented to us at one point

[54:43] which was a really insightful as to

[54:46] their results. But this report which is

[54:48] somewhat lengthy is on our website as

[54:50] well and also the presentation to go

[54:55] over this group is also

[54:58] >> great.

[54:59] On that note James there

[55:04] is going to talk about um waste

[55:07] diversion and recycling analytics.

[55:10] >> Awesome.

[55:11] >> Yeah.

[55:11] >> Uh thanks for having me everybody. Uh

[55:14] James I've met some of you in the past

[55:15] but there's some great faces here. Um

[55:18] I've been with the organization for

[55:20] about 11 years for about

[55:26] um so today I'm just going to go over

[55:28] our waste diversion efforts and

[55:30] recycling an analytics. uh basically to

[55:33] um highlight um our districtwide

[55:36] recycling, green waste, glass recycling

[55:40] efforts, contamination reduction

[55:42] efforts, outreach.

[55:48] Skip this slide.

[55:51] Yeah. So, um, my purpose with this

[55:54] report is basically just to provide a

[55:56] year-end overview of our waste diversion

[55:59] efforts for 2025,

[56:02] um, and our contamination reduction

[56:04] efforts. Um, and we'll use this to track

[56:07] and monitor Congress with sustainability

[56:11] goals

[56:12] forward.

[56:14] Um, I want to highlight some of the

[56:16] environmental and financial impacts that

[56:18] these waste diversion opportunities

[56:20] provide us. Um, and also share some

[56:23] insight into what markets are doing as

[56:27] far as

[56:35] all right. So, um, some of the benefits

[56:37] of waste diversion, I'm sure you've all

[56:39] heard them before, but they bear

[56:41] repeating. Um, provides several

[56:45] benefits. Um, recycling and composting

[56:48] first and foremost reduces our need for

[56:50] virgin uh uh materials and consumes

[56:54] natural resources. Um, it also reduces

[56:57] greenhouse gas emissions associated with

[57:00] bi manufacturing.

[57:03] Um, it also preserves landfill air space

[57:07] and extends the life lands by diverting

[57:10] those materials from new lands.

[57:12] uh sources and then lastly supports a

[57:16] circular economy by reintroducing those

[57:19] materials back um back into production

[57:23] essentially.

[57:27] Um all that sounds great but um I think

[57:31] putting some actual numbers and

[57:33] statistics with our recycling efforts is

[57:35] valuable. This has been well received by

[57:38] each community that we share this with.

[57:40] Um throughout the year we conduct

[57:43] regular samples that give us an idea as

[57:45] to what materials are coming into the

[57:47] recycling plant. Uh we have a monitoring

[57:50] breakdown. We conduct the sorts monthly

[57:53] to give us that breakdown. Um and we can

[57:56] use total tonnages to estimate the tages

[57:59] of uh each commodity. We then use uh the

[58:03] EPA RAM model to estimate total resource

[58:07] savings. So looking at total tendage

[58:10] over recycling is impressive but to the

[58:15] tangible

[58:17] savings

[58:18] on the board I think definitely makes it

[58:20] that bigger impact. So using the warm

[58:23] climate model, we estimate a reduction

[58:25] of about 219,000

[58:27] matured tons, a reduction of 92 million

[58:30] gallons of water,

[58:33] uh 50,324

[58:36] metric tons of greenhouse gas reduction,

[58:41] 864 megawatt.

[58:44] >> That's just for last year.

[58:46] >> This is just for last year. And this is

[58:48] districtwide. We can't break this down

[58:50] into each uh municipality. Um as well

[58:53] using that same model. The EDA also has

[58:56] a high

[58:58] break down individual

[59:01] impact. So for your rec.

[59:12] So looking at our diversion rate uh

[59:15] across Wboard um unfortunately we were

[59:19] down in 2025 to 17.98%

[59:22] a little bit below our 2% version goal

[59:26] um however it is a small amount 39% 204

[59:31] and we're seeing a tiny reduction across

[59:35] almost every metric as far as rapid use

[59:37] recyclable glass and green waste is the

[59:40] only exception. uh we did see a

[59:42] significant increase in time on our

[59:44] Christmas tree up to 36 tons.

[59:47] >> So why do you think there is a drop in

[59:50] holocaust?

[59:52] >> I speculate that it's a wider consumer

[59:56] sentiment

[59:58] situation. Maybe people are consuming

[1:00:00] lesser behaviors or changing with

[1:00:02] people. Um that would be my speculation

[1:00:06] as far as it as that goes. We're still

[1:00:08] seeing

[1:00:10] centers.

[1:00:14] You know, we're at about 19,000 tons of

[1:00:16] recycle

[1:00:18] expensive glass, but it's

[1:00:22] a little less

[1:00:26] interesting.

[1:00:31] » And then this is uh diversion rates by

[1:00:33] cities. Um

[1:00:36] you know that uh diversion increases as

[1:00:38] resources are available. Uh more

[1:00:41] recycling cans, more green waste cans,

[1:00:44] glass recycling cans are obviously going

[1:00:46] to lead to higher diversion rates within

[1:00:48] the city. Um

[1:00:51] as we work to expand knowledge of our

[1:00:54] programs under green program

[1:00:58] hopefully we will regional distance and

[1:01:01] increase diversion across all

[1:01:03] municipalities

[1:01:05] um and education and outreach will be a

[1:01:07] big part of

[1:01:09] achieving that goal. But if we look at

[1:01:12] that chart on the right, the diversion

[1:01:14] rate by city, there are two things I

[1:01:17] want to point out. Uh, I immigration

[1:01:19] canyon does have a extremely high

[1:01:21] diverging rate and Brighton is not

[1:01:24] listed on there.

[1:01:25] >> Yeah.

[1:01:25] >> The reason is uh we collect front

[1:01:27] containers for them. We doesn't break

[1:01:30] out the total image from our front

[1:01:33] program. So if we take the found program

[1:01:36] and incorporate it in there

[1:01:38] from multiple other locations and really

[1:01:41] squeeze that data, it's extremely high.

[1:01:44] So I just wanted to

[1:01:47] certain simple.

[1:01:49] >> Thanks for

[1:01:55] slide to the next one. Okay. Um

[1:01:59] recycling tipping fees. Uh one major

[1:02:02] thing uh that stands out that we uh have

[1:02:04] been struggling with or did struggle

[1:02:06] with in 2005 was increased to the fees

[1:02:09] overall despite the fact that

[1:02:11] opportunities just were down uh

[1:02:13] year-over-year.

[1:02:14] Um

[1:02:16] one of the contributing factors to that

[1:02:18] is well the main contributing factor to

[1:02:20] that is uh processing fees due to uh

[1:02:24] recycling markets. Um, and that really

[1:02:27] shows in quarter three and quarter four

[1:02:30] 2025.

[1:02:32] Um,

[1:02:33] our recycling tipping fees based off of

[1:02:37] the market value of the products that

[1:02:39] we're bringing in, how much of each

[1:02:41] product we're bringing in, and then also

[1:02:43] our

[1:02:45] contamination rates.

[1:02:48] So we are trying to address the

[1:02:51] recycling uh difficulties that we have

[1:02:54] through uh addressing contamination with

[1:02:56] our quality assurance team uh education

[1:02:59] and outreach driving participation in

[1:03:01] reporting contaminated hands out tag. So

[1:03:04] I'll dig into that just a little bit

[1:03:06] later.

[1:03:09] Go to the next slide. So these are um

[1:03:13] our monthly tipping fees at each

[1:03:16] material recovery facility. Uh we can

[1:03:19] see in March waste management standard

[1:03:22] $20266

[1:03:24] a ton. We saw significant increases over

[1:03:27] time almost up to $80 towards the end of

[1:03:30] the year.

[1:03:32] Rocky Mountain recycling was a little

[1:03:34] more consistent. Uh we were at a low in

[1:03:37] the beginning of the year in May at

[1:03:39] $3021.

[1:03:41] Folks on increase up to just under $65

[1:03:44] by December. So we're following similar

[1:03:49] but

[1:03:50] definitely an increase again

[1:03:54] processing fees for

[1:03:59] jump to the next slide. Uh these are all

[1:04:02] the materials that are accepted from the

[1:04:04] different groups and their uh value

[1:04:08] rebate that we get. Um as we can see uh

[1:04:12] our most predominant um resource being

[1:04:16] fibers cardboard uh to be a significant

[1:04:19] decrease from 2024

[1:04:24] has slid22

[1:04:28] trending down.

[1:04:31] Uh metal markets maintained pretty

[1:04:34] healthy status throughout the year. Not

[1:04:38] too much of a change there, but a big

[1:04:40] problem we have with plastics. Uh we can

[1:04:43] see a a sharp increase on the HD

[1:04:48] on order two. Those are like clear.

[1:04:52] Uh those are our most valuable.

[1:04:55] They can be red. So they have a high

[1:04:58] value. They they dropped

[1:05:01] four as well as our PET plastics which

[1:05:04] is like this plastic water bottles or so

[1:05:06] bottles and also color HP about that

[1:05:10] same time I bought

[1:05:16] » is it generally that

[1:05:20] » from from what I've seen yes but again

[1:05:24] >> several years back looking forward into

[1:05:27] this year we have seen that booing

[1:05:30] again. So, but we do have more

[1:05:35] oil.

[1:05:38] >> Makes sense.

[1:05:40] >> Slide to the next one.

[1:05:43] So, these are just a quick overview of

[1:05:45] the results that we've seen from our

[1:05:47] sorts um at both conservable recovery

[1:05:50] facilities. Uh Rocky Mountain Recycling

[1:05:53] uh is where we take the majority of our

[1:05:55] material. We conducted 71 sample sorts

[1:05:57] with Rocky Mountain recycling. Um and

[1:06:00] these were the findings that we had for

[1:06:04] saw slight increase in our app.

[1:06:09] Um and paper remained about the same.

[1:06:11] This is in form with me slightly.

[1:06:16] uh we did see a decrease at both mers of

[1:06:18] HDP natural and color possibly

[1:06:21] indicating a change in

[1:06:26] a big thing I wanted to highlight here

[1:06:27] is our residual waste on the bottom we

[1:06:29] saw decrease 2024

[1:06:33] uh down to 18.5% so a decrease of 1.48%

[1:06:36] for 8%.

[1:06:40] We jump to the next one.

[1:06:43] Looking at waste management. Again,

[1:06:44] similar trends. an increase in cardboard

[1:06:47] indicating a more fiber richching

[1:06:51] paper remaining about the same and

[1:06:53] slight decreases with our HT

[1:06:56] and PT

[1:07:00] waste management significant decrease in

[1:07:03] trash down 8.57%

[1:07:08] and attributing this to

[1:07:12] reach participation

[1:07:16] So that's great.

[1:07:18] Just next one.

[1:07:21] Um these this is just a year-over-year

[1:07:23] change in our contamination rates for

[1:07:25] Rocky Mountain Recycling.

[1:07:27] Since 2022, we've seen a 7.37%

[1:07:30] decrease year-over-year. We're down to

[1:07:33] 18.05% for Rock Mountain below our 20%

[1:07:36] goal. Um which is great news. And we're

[1:07:39] seeing that reduction across every

[1:07:41] scalpy take.

[1:07:48] The next one uh waste management. We're

[1:07:50] seeing similar trends. We're down in

[1:07:52] contamination.

[1:07:56] However, I do want to highlight we've

[1:07:57] only conducted nine sample source waste

[1:08:00] management. much smaller pool than

[1:08:04] unfortunately but we're still seeing a

[1:08:06] major decrease in 77 8% and again

[1:08:10] decrease across every municipality that

[1:08:12] take

[1:08:14] materials to dispatch

[1:08:17] so we're seeing excellent excellent

[1:08:24] and then this is just districtwide this

[1:08:27] is a combination of all sound sorts down

[1:08:30] to 19% below our 20

[1:08:34] for the year. Um, and this was across 80

[1:08:37] sound resorts for the entire year.

[1:08:40] Again,

[1:08:42] Taylor'sville was a unique situation

[1:08:44] because we're taking some material from

[1:08:45] Taylorville to Rocky Mountain, some to

[1:08:48] waste management even when we still

[1:08:52] so awesome, awesome work. And James, let

[1:08:56] me just add in briefly. So if a load

[1:08:58] comes in, there's contamination after

[1:09:00] the motors, everything that's acceptable

[1:09:03] that's that's clean and that's that's

[1:09:06] intended and targeted for recycling is

[1:09:08] still getting recovered and ultimately

[1:09:10] recycled at these facilities. So the

[1:09:13] contamination is basically the

[1:09:14] proportion of materials that are not

[1:09:17] recoverable for recycling or that are

[1:09:20] otherwise not hard to capture as part of

[1:09:24] the recycling process. So waste

[1:09:26] management they had different

[1:09:27] categories. So like the fines that's

[1:09:29] things that are really small like two

[1:09:32] three inch minus materials that fall

[1:09:33] through the conveyor system on sorting

[1:09:36] criteria and so forth. Uh contamination

[1:09:39] the lower we have

[1:09:42] part of these these composition audits.

[1:09:44] There's a a running average for each of

[1:09:46] our our largely our partner cities and

[1:09:50] the cost is is a function of the monthly

[1:09:54] commodity market values and then the

[1:09:57] rate in which they've identified the

[1:09:59] contamination or residue rate is offset

[1:10:02] as part of it. So all these countries

[1:10:04] are a base processing fee minus the

[1:10:07] rebates based on our material

[1:10:08] composition for the values of those

[1:10:10] materials but then they add back in that

[1:10:13] residual cost as well. So as

[1:10:15] contamination goes down that ultimately

[1:10:17] saves money across the entire district

[1:10:20] and reduces those overall.

[1:10:31] So um uh our efforts to reduce that

[1:10:35] contamination uh is based mostly off of

[1:10:37] our less tag program. Uh this is headed

[1:10:41] by our quality assurance inspector um as

[1:10:44] well as our drivers. Our drivers come

[1:10:45] from crosscontamination but goal is to

[1:10:47] address it.

[1:10:51] Uh we don't want the roof capturing

[1:10:54] those materials um especially during our

[1:10:56] rentals that affect the prices that will

[1:10:59] stay. Uh we've had a lot of buying with

[1:11:02] our drivers this year. We've had a total

[1:11:03] of 2,648 reports from drivers.

[1:11:10] Uh which is about 221 every single

[1:11:12] month.

[1:11:13] >> What does that actually look like? And

[1:11:15] how are the drivers? I guess I I'm

[1:11:17] seeing the the closed lids as I drive

[1:11:19] down the street. Like how do they

[1:11:21] usually identify that?

[1:11:22] >> So um these include uh this does include

[1:11:25] reports for cans at the curb. There are

[1:11:28] some reports for cans that have been

[1:11:30] dumped. So, our drivers can't see um

[1:11:33] this open obviously, but they also have

[1:11:35] cameras with facing to the hopper. So,

[1:11:37] if they dump a can that has uh this is

[1:11:39] common, unfortunately, a bunch of

[1:11:42] cardboard and a very bottom green list

[1:11:44] where it's being once they dump the can,

[1:11:47] they can see it in the in the camera.

[1:11:49] They'll still report this. Um after it's

[1:11:52] been reported, we update the account.

[1:11:54] Our quality assurance team follows up on

[1:11:56] every

[1:11:58] um so once they have that address the

[1:12:01] following week they'll go to see if the

[1:12:03] contamination's been addressed. If it

[1:12:06] hasn't they'll tack again and report it

[1:12:08] again.

[1:12:10] If it is contaminated follow the same

[1:12:12] process the next week. On that third

[1:12:14] week, we'll issue a final notice of

[1:12:17] compliance as well. It just basically

[1:12:20] stating that uh continued contamination

[1:12:23] will have.

[1:12:24] Uh we last year were pulling the

[1:12:26] container for.

[1:12:31] So once they received that final notice

[1:12:34] also reached out via email to inform

[1:12:36] them the days of contamination pictures

[1:12:41] guys to try to address it sacrifice just

[1:12:43] any resources to try to solve the issue.

[1:12:47] Um but as we can see with that tab uh

[1:12:50] installation

[1:12:53] for for the most part addressing the

[1:12:55] demand with span fix the problem

[1:13:00] about 22% down the second time that

[1:13:03] continues to go down as we continue to

[1:13:06] follow reach out try

[1:13:10] of the 2,600 it did end up about 47 of

[1:13:14] those after contact Maybe

[1:13:23] » when when you interact with people it's

[1:13:26] just interesting to me the number of

[1:13:28] people who are continuing like that

[1:13:30] second and third what's their is it an

[1:13:32] attitude issue if you were to recycle

[1:13:34] they just don't seem to care what what's

[1:13:38] >> some of it is yeah

[1:13:39] >> some of it is um I think some of it is

[1:13:41] also um

[1:13:44] I think

[1:13:45] I I hate to say this, but we have a we

[1:13:49] have a broad base and a small crew to

[1:13:52] follow up and I think that some people

[1:13:54] have been over time that that they're

[1:13:56] getting away with this. So maybe if they

[1:13:59] get tech first time

[1:14:02] I think the mentality sometimes is well

[1:14:04] I got five years I'll just continue

[1:14:07] and I think uh we're seeing a lot of

[1:14:10] results from having consistent followup

[1:14:13] on specific address

[1:14:25] » and sometimes unfortunately people do

[1:14:27] use recycle can as their overflow.

[1:14:30] >> Okay,

[1:14:30] >> that's where we're

[1:14:32] >> see more of that.

[1:14:37] » Um, and these are some great examples of that. Um, our quality assurance uh

[1:14:44] team member Kevin was in here earlier. I

[1:14:46] just want to shine a light on what he's

[1:14:48] doing for this program. Um, he checked

[1:14:51] 3,56

[1:14:53] containers last year himself. Um, he's

[1:14:56] very busy. This is the in addition to

[1:14:58] other things that he's doing. Um but uh

[1:15:02] of these we we do have some examples of

[1:15:05] each type of contaminant that we're

[1:15:07] running across. We do have the Star Wars

[1:15:10] common uh wood and food waste, glass,

[1:15:14] green waste, styrofoam, scrap metal,

[1:15:16] trash, as was saying I think does make

[1:15:19] it way into the recycle can especially

[1:15:21] that garbage can's full or if it's been

[1:15:23] empty and I have a bunch of trash

[1:15:25] outside. I'm not going to go into I

[1:15:28] think it's metal

[1:15:30] and plastic bags and

[1:15:33] at this point I do want to reiterate but

[1:15:35] these if any of these make their way

[1:15:37] into the recycling truck they are

[1:15:40] yeah they are pulling out that

[1:15:42] contamination by hand that's

[1:15:45] the good products are still

[1:15:52] all right moving into green list Um our

[1:15:57] green waste uh diversion program has has

[1:16:00] shown a lot of success over the years.

[1:16:04] Um our green tipping fees remain about

[1:16:08] 48% lower

[1:16:10] tes were items sent to land on that

[1:16:14] our transfer station.

[1:16:19] Um where green green waste fees are

[1:16:21] remaining consistent year-over-year

[1:16:23] about $17.

[1:16:25] Uh green waste is great because it uh

[1:16:28] diverts materials from the landfill,

[1:16:30] saves land airspace, reduces the

[1:16:32] emissions uh methane emissions at the

[1:16:34] landfill and uh distributes that

[1:16:37] circular economy. Uh Salt Lake County

[1:16:40] captures that uh they compost it and

[1:16:43] they redistribute a as a highrade

[1:16:46] compost back to the community. So that's

[1:16:48] fantastic.

[1:16:50] >> Um, we accomplished just under 6,000

[1:16:53] tons of green waste last year.

[1:16:56] See at the top of that far right bar, a

[1:16:59] total tipping fees uh paid for green

[1:17:01] waste is 101,698.

[1:17:05] If we were to dump uh that same 6,000

[1:17:08] tons of green waste um at one of those

[1:17:10] transfer stations um it would have been

[1:17:13] significant. We actually reduce activity

[1:17:15] fees by around

[1:17:18] so it's a great resource environmentally

[1:17:22] cost saving.

[1:17:24] We're also seeing more buying from

[1:17:26] residents. Um that bottom number I don't

[1:17:29] explain that but we had 11,824

[1:17:33] residents last year or sorry 2024 and we

[1:17:36] bumped up to 12,000 by 2025. I hope that

[1:17:40] we can really get some this program.

[1:17:44] It's the page number that stamps on the

[1:17:50] » Okay.

[1:17:53] » Uh glass recycling is also um been very

[1:17:56] beneficial for us environmental and cost

[1:17:58] saving companies. Um we do not incer any

[1:18:01] tipping fees for glass recent recycling.

[1:18:05] Uh last year we recycled 83616

[1:18:09] tons. uh and by recycling that through

[1:18:12] momentum avoiding those fees, we reduced

[1:18:14] spending fees by about $30,000

[1:18:17] uh for 2021.

[1:18:19] Um glass is great. Uh not only does it

[1:18:22] save airspace um and support a circular

[1:18:26] uh recycling economy, know you recycle

[1:18:29] forever. Um so it's it's definitely

[1:18:31] something that we want to continue to

[1:18:33] capture as much as possible.

[1:18:36] um from 2022 to 2025. I I think this

[1:18:39] number really drives it home for me, but

[1:18:41] a reduction of $12,000

[1:18:44] into pieces of glass alone. So that's

[1:18:47] great.

[1:18:48] Um we did see a slight decrease from

[1:18:52] 2014

[1:18:53] glass container subscribers 2024,

[1:18:57] 946

[1:19:00] 58 people. of this time

[1:19:06] » and effective June 1st I believe kind of

[1:19:10] tracking but momentum glass they're

[1:19:13] opening routes for curbside services in

[1:19:15] both permanence and in

[1:19:18] so that will increase for us it's a pass

[1:19:22] through we support the administrative

[1:19:24] billing side of the momentum elections

[1:19:27] but all the central sites that's another

[1:19:28] thing that that Kevin does our QA

[1:19:31] being most of those those last as well

[1:19:35] or the public.

[1:19:44] Sorry guys, I'm trying to

[1:19:47] uh use cart recycling um was something

[1:19:49] that we started last year with Rocky

[1:19:51] Mountain Recycling. any containers that

[1:19:53] were broken and not fit, we uh found a

[1:19:57] good resource to recycle those out of

[1:20:00] the landfill. So, our first department

[1:20:02] was collecting broken cans, stripping

[1:20:05] the metal axles and recycling those

[1:20:07] separately and then stacking those cans

[1:20:09] and putting them in a 53 trailer. That

[1:20:12] trailer was collected and all we brought

[1:20:15] in recycling. So, we didn't any

[1:20:17] transportation fees for those parts.

[1:20:19] They also offered us rebates for free

[1:20:22] for those parts throughout the year. So,

[1:20:25] um we recycled an

[1:20:28] we recycle an additional 86 tons of HDP

[1:20:31] plastic for the year and reduced uh

[1:20:34] ticket fees by $4,396

[1:20:37] with that.

[1:20:39] It's a great program.

[1:20:44] Then uh Christmas tree collection uh the only stream that we saw increases in

[1:20:49] our tonnage but um we went from 27.11

[1:20:55] tons to 24 um up 8.88 tons to 35.99 tons

[1:21:01] for 25 and we saw an increase of

[1:21:05] reservations of about 435.

[1:21:09] Yeah. So, we're getting some traction as

[1:21:11] far as um people being aware of these

[1:21:13] programs. Again, to Rene's point and uh

[1:21:15] being more consistent with our outreach

[1:21:17] and having a strategy to make residents

[1:21:20] aware of this program

[1:21:22] for the long success of piece. Um all of

[1:21:25] our trees that are collected this way

[1:21:27] are sent to tree for mulch for my horse.

[1:21:33] Awesome. Um but they also cost us a lot

[1:21:36] less. So each load that we take to

[1:21:38] diamond tree is a $25 flat.

[1:21:42] We took seven loads uh compared to uh

[1:21:46] dumping at a landfill about $36 per time

[1:21:49] at 36 tons. We reduced costs by $36.

[1:21:56] So awesome.

[1:22:00] » All right. And then uh community

[1:22:02] outreach and engagement. I've been uh

[1:22:04] working with each community uh and

[1:22:06] trying to get to as many schools as

[1:22:08] possible. 2025 we ended the year as some

[1:22:11] schools visited with 18 separate

[1:22:13] classrooms and 427 students. Um there's

[1:22:17] been a big push this year. Um I far

[1:22:19] exceeded this number already for the

[1:22:21] year. So look forward to writing those

[1:22:24] details later. Uh public events. Uh we attended 26 total events in six

[1:22:32] parades reaching about 1350 individual

[1:22:35] residents.

[1:22:36] I do want to pause there as we roll into

[1:22:39] uh community outreach season. I know

[1:22:40] every start having events. I did leave

[1:22:44] some cards over there if you miss

[1:22:50] that.

[1:22:51] Um, I did attend six community council

[1:22:54] meetings and presented uh some of this

[1:22:56] information just to align your local

[1:22:59] sustainability goals with what is doing

[1:23:03] to achieve those. And then social media

[1:23:06] outreach. We reached about 72,380

[1:23:09] users from 46 social media groups 61.

[1:23:17] And

[1:23:19] um these are some of the uh hand guides

[1:23:22] that um we put together this year with

[1:23:25] help from Evans Genesis

[1:23:28] went on weeks just to get beat. Um the

[1:23:31] goal was to create something uniform and

[1:23:34] something that plainly spells out what

[1:23:36] is accepted at the material recovery

[1:23:38] facilities or the previous.

[1:23:41] Um we did include in the non-accepted

[1:23:43] items items that were running into

[1:23:45] consistently or high infusion items, but

[1:23:48] we also wanted to provide a resource for

[1:23:50] people to uh use to dispose of those

[1:23:52] items. So if you scan that QR code to

[1:23:55] recycle material, um all of those items

[1:23:58] do have recycling options listed on just

[1:24:02] the residents have to physically take

[1:24:04] those materials there.

[1:24:09] The next one is just a quick example of

[1:24:12] some of the things we uh went through

[1:24:14] social media. Again, these are just uh

[1:24:17] holiday themed guides um

[1:24:21] common issues that were facing like bag

[1:24:23] materials,

[1:24:25] dispelling of some myths or programs

[1:24:27] that were working like that and then

[1:24:30] also highlighting some of the services

[1:24:32] that were

[1:24:35] prior to the event. And then also

[1:24:37] results after the event that just keeps

[1:24:40] as soon

[1:24:51] » Yeah. So these are key takeaways and

[1:24:55] summaries. Uh do you guys have any

[1:24:57] questions for me?

[1:25:00] I'm trying to hurry.

[1:25:01] >> You're trying really good.

[1:25:04] It is really helpful to see uh see all that you're doing, all that we're

[1:25:09] doing. Um the ways that we're

[1:25:11] continually trying to engage with the

[1:25:13] communities around us and just it just

[1:25:16] makes me happy to see all the good that

[1:25:19] we're doing.

[1:25:22] » Any other questions or comments?

[1:25:26] All right. Um thank you so much

[1:25:30] again. Appreciate appreciate you. Um

[1:25:45] This is always challenging morning.

[1:25:49] >> It's thermostat.

[1:25:55] » Um, all right. Helen, uh, one of our 4.5

[1:26:00] authorization to withdraw properties.

[1:26:03] final 2026 May

[1:26:06] I think everybody knows that we once a

[1:26:09] year we use new track

[1:26:14] that is where we send to the county and

[1:26:16] they add property tax

[1:26:19] property taxes and of course we get our

[1:26:21] money back there's 8% administrative

[1:26:24] charge for that as well um but they

[1:26:27] every year they send us a letter asking

[1:26:29] us to um authorization to withdraw

[1:26:33] properties from the final tax sale for

[1:26:36] 2026.

[1:26:37] And every year we do ask the chair to

[1:26:40] sign that letter. And what it's saying

[1:26:42] is basically, you know, don't force a

[1:26:45] sale on somebody's home because they owe

[1:26:46] us $500. That's basically what it is.

[1:26:49] Um, and so

[1:26:52] that's what it is.

[1:26:55] >> Any questions, concerns before I sign

[1:26:59] this?

[1:27:01] >> Okay. I think I think we're good.

[1:27:04] >> All right. Um

[1:27:07] >> Oh, do a formal approval.

[1:27:10] >> So request letter

[1:27:12] sign as board chair this next page here.

[1:27:16] >> This is the letter. So we need to do a

[1:27:18] motion then.

[1:27:19] >> Yeah. To approve

[1:27:22] the

[1:27:24] >> request.

[1:27:26] >> All right. Uh, can I get a motion to

[1:27:28] approve the allowable of what is it

[1:27:32] allow for the withdrawal of properties

[1:27:34] >> right from the tax sale tax bill?

[1:27:39] » Second.

[1:27:42] All in favor?

[1:27:44] >> I.

[1:27:45] >> Any oppose?

[1:27:48] All right. Okay. Uh, that is approved.

[1:27:52] Um, and then 4.6. Um just really

[1:27:56] briefly, this is something that we were

[1:27:57] trying to get to in um our board

[1:28:00] retreat. Um we still would like um to uh

[1:28:04] go over with the board and so Evan's

[1:28:06] going to talk about our issues in this

[1:28:10] moving forward.

[1:28:12] >> Yes, thank you. And we could be quite

[1:28:13] brief on this. There's a very high level

[1:28:16] agenda item summary and you know next

[1:28:18] month we're planning to maybe look at

[1:28:20] some other items as well but within this

[1:28:23] material we've kind of included some

[1:28:26] historical and current information. Uh

[1:28:29] Dave's put a lot of really good uh kind

[1:28:31] of dashboards together. I think we saw

[1:28:34] the green waste one back at the retreat

[1:28:36] but now there's a fleet here as well.

[1:28:37] But there's a lot of things we want to

[1:28:40] start looking at and and maybe um some

[1:28:43] things we may want to assume that like

[1:28:44] there are areas of prioritization that

[1:28:48] this body wants us to look into and

[1:28:50] bring back more information and we're

[1:28:52] really looking at how can we reduce our

[1:28:55] fleet maintenance costs. Um what type of

[1:28:57] technology should we pursue?

[1:29:00] A lot of the larger production calling

[1:29:03] companies have integrated routing

[1:29:06] software within their trucks. So the

[1:29:08] things that we do plan to pursue a look

[1:29:10] at in the future. Those are um capital

[1:29:13] intensive up front but also reflect a

[1:29:16] significant cost savings over a period

[1:29:18] of time. But also the integration

[1:29:22] actually implementation of those systems

[1:29:25] are are very intensive as well and

[1:29:27] oftentimes require full-time person as

[1:29:30] kind of a project manager in those

[1:29:32] capacity. So we're not really looking at

[1:29:35] that currently. asking for any sort of

[1:29:38] um approvals, but if there are ideas of

[1:29:41] certain items, you know, for example,

[1:29:44] um you know, should this district even

[1:29:46] consider um you know, pursuing its own

[1:29:50] in-house fleet maintenance program in

[1:29:52] the future? You know, kind of everything

[1:29:54] is on the table here. You know, what

[1:29:56] types of things should we pursue? Um and

[1:29:59] or evaluate moving forward. You know, we

[1:30:02] all see as we've just seen an increase

[1:30:04] in our repair and maintenance costs.

[1:30:07] We're seeing increase in our information

[1:30:09] technology support costs as well. Some

[1:30:11] of them here as part of this um the

[1:30:15] attachments on this agenda item as well.

[1:30:17] But ultimately we're looking at

[1:30:21] what ideas recommendations should we

[1:30:23] consider prioritizing some of the items.

[1:30:25] This was meant to kind of be one of

[1:30:27] those breakout sessions uh during the

[1:30:29] retrieve in two. But if we can go to the

[1:30:32] next page, Renee

[1:30:34] shows um from 2021 through 2025 or

[1:30:38] increase. The blue bar is our food

[1:30:41] prepare and maintenance costs. Obviously

[1:30:44] showing a an ongoing increase in that.

[1:30:47] Uh the next page is the dashboard that

[1:30:49] David has put together which has a lot

[1:30:51] of really interesting uh and insightful

[1:30:53] information here. Um in the middle, I

[1:30:56] know it's hard to see on the screen

[1:30:57] here. This is in the the board packet.

[1:30:59] Um, but our year-over-year change, if we

[1:31:02] look at 2021

[1:31:04] through 2025, the very middle of the

[1:31:06] chart there, 2021, our total lending

[1:31:10] cost was about 3.3 million. 2025, we

[1:31:13] were about 4.86

[1:31:15] million. So, from that time frame alone,

[1:31:18] we see 44%.

[1:31:21] So, fairly substantial. Um, as a whole,

[1:31:25] our overall fuel costs haven't really

[1:31:28] spiked or changed too much. I'm starting

[1:31:31] to think that CNG is a much more

[1:31:34] resilient fuel type whereas diesel is

[1:31:37] very volatile in some cases. But pause

[1:31:41] here and see if D, is there anything

[1:31:42] that you wanted to maybe point out

[1:31:44] specifically as part of the staff

[1:31:46] forward or um things that we should

[1:31:48] make?

[1:31:50] Um

[1:31:58] so when you're running

[1:32:02] how many

[1:32:06] units

[1:32:12] and then one thing you can show the very

[1:32:14] bottom of this dashboard

[1:32:16] um on the yeah there so so David does a

[1:32:21] ton of integrating data and working with LER team and poor as well. We look

[1:32:26] at this cost per mile type. So if we

[1:32:30] look at that that bottom table there,

[1:32:33] there's a total cost per mile was also

[1:32:35] the maintenance cost per mile as well.

[1:32:38] And so the maintenance cost per mile has

[1:32:40] gone up again from 2021 was about $2.74

[1:32:44] per mile. It does not include the fuel.

[1:32:47] um to in 2025 they're about $420.

[1:32:50] So seeing those those increases and I

[1:32:53] guess we're looking at but again we

[1:32:57] continue to see increased cost from

[1:33:00] authentic our service providers as well.

[1:33:02] So we're going to go to the the next

[1:33:04] page there. We we also did meet at the

[1:33:07] end of last year with the fleet

[1:33:08] departments and kind of review um their

[1:33:12] trend but also their adjustments in

[1:33:16] their rates. So we did see a $6 per hour

[1:33:22] can rate increase this year which also

[1:33:24] attributed to our increased costs but

[1:33:27] also we look at the labor hours that

[1:33:29] they've incurred for our truck since

[1:33:31] 2021.

[1:33:32] uh and through through the program there

[1:33:34] has been a continued increase in that as

[1:33:37] well. Uh we also had fuel costs um

[1:33:41] estimates and forecasts here. Um

[1:33:44] originally they thought that diesel

[1:33:45] would maybe go down segments. C again

[1:33:49] have been very quite resilient to

[1:33:52] consistent throughout those years. Uh

[1:33:54] but you can also go to the next page for

[1:33:56] a

[1:33:56] >> but hold on just a second. Go back. Um

[1:33:59] those labor hours

[1:34:02] haven't increased to the same percentage

[1:34:05] that our costs are increasing. Is that

[1:34:07] am I reading that right? Because it

[1:34:10] looks like that those labor hours have

[1:34:13] only increased by roughly I mean 2021 to

[1:34:16] 2022 was a thousand but really since

[1:34:18] then it's been pretty flatline.

[1:34:20] Um and so I guess I'm just trying to

[1:34:23] understand where it's continuing where

[1:34:27] the costs are continuing to be drinks.

[1:34:29] >> Sure. Absolutely. I think a lot of it's

[1:34:31] going to be attributable to parts and

[1:34:33] supplies. So the older trucks also the

[1:34:36] parts are more difficult to find. They

[1:34:37] become more expensive. Um a lot of

[1:34:39] things are purchased from global markets

[1:34:42] as well. So

[1:34:44] >> Dave can probably speak more more to

[1:34:45] this, but you know, we do incur a fairly

[1:34:49] large markup when we buy the parts as

[1:34:51] well as well. But so the county fleet,

[1:34:55] they manage all all of the repair

[1:34:58] maintenance of the student. So we have

[1:34:59] our team that oversees that, coordinates

[1:35:01] that, helps to um facilitate all of

[1:35:05] those maintenance and repairs as well.

[1:35:07] But the next slide kind of shows more or

[1:35:09] less where some of these costs are maybe

[1:35:11] coming in. Uh, so if you can just zoom

[1:35:14] in a little bit there, Rene. So the the

[1:35:16] mechanic hour is is an hourly rate and

[1:35:19] we're largely using the heavy duty um

[1:35:22] labor rates about $135 per hour. Again,

[1:35:25] that's increased since last year. But we

[1:35:28] also have a shop fee is the kind of

[1:35:30] environmental fee where the deposition

[1:35:33] of used oils and fluids and other things

[1:35:36] like that are actually packed on. And

[1:35:38] then the parts markup is a big one. So

[1:35:41] this is through our agreement with

[1:35:43] county fleet but there is a 26% markup

[1:35:46] on all parts and that's where we're

[1:35:48] seeing a lot of those costs and seeing

[1:35:50] the increase

[1:35:51] >> and that's an increase

[1:35:53] that's on that 26

[1:35:56] >> it's the government overhead the

[1:35:58] management utilities um you know it is

[1:36:02] rather extensive our original contract

[1:36:04] if they look back the original

[1:36:07] cars mark was 22 or 24%

[1:36:10] but it has gone up to now 26%. So

[1:36:15] we're really trying to deep dive this

[1:36:17] understanding how much you're paying for

[1:36:18] markups and paying for cards and um

[1:36:21] ultimately at the end of the day is this

[1:36:22] something that we should continue or

[1:36:25] shoulder

[1:36:27] evaluate

[1:36:33] based on just some of this limited

[1:36:36] additional information. Uh but we we are

[1:36:39] paying a lot and we've been with Fleet

[1:36:41] and talk about the markup and um all of

[1:36:44] their customers which includes county

[1:36:47] departments um school districts for

[1:36:50] example

[1:36:52] my so that they're all paying this

[1:36:55] equivalent and same rates that we are

[1:36:57] not paying rates that others. So this is

[1:37:00] kind of built in to cover those overhead

[1:37:02] costs and their management know their

[1:37:05] buildings utilities etc. But it is an

[1:37:08] increasing cost and one that um we pay a

[1:37:12] lot just on high rates. But of course

[1:37:14] that parts market is is rather

[1:37:16] >> why they marking up their parts.

[1:37:20] >> Great question and one again that I

[1:37:22] >> mean they're essentially nonprofit

[1:37:26] but not for profit. They're buying their

[1:37:28] parts directly from a provider.

[1:37:34] So to my understanding with county

[1:37:36] police several other parts actually

[1:37:38] transition from general funded to a

[1:37:41] degree to now they're operating as

[1:37:45] >> so so their markup covering the cost of

[1:37:48] their looking to purchase the products

[1:37:51] the guy that's maintaining their their

[1:37:53] inventory in their shop. They have you

[1:37:56] know several physical analysts and

[1:37:58] management that manages their fleet

[1:38:00] shops. So all those are covering their

[1:38:03] overhead costs and providing service

[1:38:06] comprehensively. So in essence, you

[1:38:08] know, part of our part of our service

[1:38:10] rates, even that's just a bad example,

[1:38:13] but part of our service rates to collect

[1:38:15] trash and recycling is is probably my

[1:38:18] definition.

[1:38:19] >> Sure.

[1:38:20] >> But 26%.

[1:38:23] >> I was quite surprised myself. I I've

[1:38:25] worked in private consulting and usually

[1:38:28] those markers are between 10 to 15 to

[1:38:30] 20%. Um but exceeding 20% is is rather

[1:38:34] expensive and we pay quite a bit

[1:38:38] >> and parts alone also.

[1:38:40] >> We go direct on the parts.

[1:38:44] >> We could this would be stand up a whole

[1:38:46] new program having our own shop and

[1:38:48] inventory and

[1:38:50] >> no I just buy the part take it. I grew

[1:38:52] up in an auto parts store and

[1:38:55] >> supplied for all of Utah and that is an

[1:38:58] extremely high rate

[1:39:00] >> and so I mean a lot of people now are

[1:39:03] just going to write I know it's

[1:39:05] different

[1:39:05] >> but garbage trucks but

[1:39:08] >> I think we ought to push back on that

[1:39:10] >> we know

[1:39:12] >> it it seems to me that there and it

[1:39:14] sounds like you're in the process of

[1:39:15] diving into all these so there's this

[1:39:17] markup issue

[1:39:19] um there's also the issue have an aging

[1:39:22] fleet, which it sounds like we're

[1:39:23] addressing with the trucks that are

[1:39:25] coming in at the end of the month. And I

[1:39:26] know we got a little behind because we

[1:39:28] stopped those capital purchases

[1:39:31] >> um at the end of the year. Um so it

[1:39:36] seems to me that there's some of this is

[1:39:37] a structural issue, some of it is we

[1:39:39] kind of got behind um on issues. So I I

[1:39:42] think like looking at this, there's a

[1:39:44] lot of avenues we still need to explore

[1:39:47] to really identify why the classes are

[1:39:50] going the way that they are. so that we

[1:39:51] can then look at the best possible

[1:39:53] solutions to address it.

[1:39:55] >> Correct. Yeah, this is something we're

[1:39:58] continuing to evaluate. It's part of the

[1:40:00] forward meetings and um I've kind of in

[1:40:03] a nice diplomatic way of kind of the

[1:40:05] discussion with them on some of these

[1:40:07] items that um I mean it was sticker

[1:40:12] >> better understanding it but at the same

[1:40:14] time is is that markup fully

[1:40:18] justifiable? There's also this the shop

[1:40:20] fee which comes through as a

[1:40:23] environmental charge and that's the

[1:40:25] actual shop fee is based on a markup on

[1:40:29] the labor that we're in. That's to to

[1:40:32] maintain you know the heat suppies

[1:40:37] and filters was kind of some of the

[1:40:38] general consumer goals but also being

[1:40:42] oil and pantries and things like that

[1:40:44] does also cost money it's based on their

[1:40:47] enterprise model. Um compared to last

[1:40:50] year the pilots that we did reflect an

[1:40:53] increase uh but the the market has been

[1:40:56] that way for a period of time but our

[1:40:58] original contracts I believe that

[1:41:01] original market was 22.

[1:41:06] So Evan, I also wonder, so it sounds I

[1:41:08] mean we have the option to work with the

[1:41:10] county. We have the option to create our

[1:41:12] own in-house, but are there other

[1:41:15] private shops that service like these

[1:41:20] larger?

[1:41:22] >> There are and I believe there was an

[1:41:23] analysis done a few years ago looking at

[1:41:27] what it would look like to use a a

[1:41:29] private shop. So one thing that's good

[1:41:30] with with county police is like we share

[1:41:34] a crew with some of them. They're right.

[1:41:37] There's a lot of synergies and

[1:41:38] efficiencies as as part of where they're

[1:41:41] located and where we are at as well. And

[1:41:43] they were great. They've been very

[1:41:45] responsive to our questions and um

[1:41:49] >> so that analysis is already good. It's

[1:41:51] not

[1:41:51] >> his historically I'm not sure if we have a compilation of those results

[1:41:59] but looking longer term and city of five

[1:42:02] step has it own inhouse fleets and

[1:42:04] mechanics they were largely enterprise

[1:42:07] funded but the model was was much

[1:42:10] different than than this model that

[1:42:12] we're seeing here as well and if were to

[1:42:15] stand up its own fleet repair

[1:42:16] maintenance shop um it's all a whole new

[1:42:19] ball game and a lot additional headers

[1:42:21] as well, but something that could be

[1:42:24] worth pursuing and could be an

[1:42:28] opportunity to

[1:42:30] continue to reduce costs and and

[1:42:34] minimize the cost as part of

[1:42:37] our fleet management. But we know that

[1:42:39] county fleet we're about a third of

[1:42:41] their entire um business told us that

[1:42:45] we're working on and they actually have

[1:42:47] a dual shift shop. So there's morning

[1:42:49] shift and there's an evening shift. That

[1:42:51] evening shift is what keeps our trucks

[1:42:53] on the road and minimizes number of

[1:42:55] trucks that we have a daily basis. So

[1:42:58] there's a lot to consider as part of

[1:43:01] this. Um

[1:43:04] I mean there's definitely sticker shock

[1:43:05] and some of the things that

[1:43:08] brought up

[1:43:10] others that

[1:43:12] is the is the market justifiable in some

[1:43:14] cases and how could we

[1:43:18] help to partner with the county to maybe

[1:43:21] have a better model for some of these

[1:43:23] services especially giving the word

[1:43:25] about

[1:43:26] >> yeah I think it does put us in a good

[1:43:29] position even if ultimately maintaining

[1:43:31] that partnership is the best option

[1:43:37] » I say one other topic if you go to the

[1:43:39] next page um we also looking at our

[1:43:42] county IC services this is one where

[1:43:44] we've identified some cost savings but

[1:43:46] if you scroll go um into that a little

[1:43:49] bit. Those top two categories. So,

[1:43:51] anytime you have an account with a

[1:43:53] Outlook and Microsoft account, it's

[1:43:56] covering a variety of items. But this

[1:43:59] year, we did see again additional

[1:44:01] increases of their um the user rate from

[1:44:04] about 87 to roughly $103 per user per

[1:44:09] month. These are things we're looking at

[1:44:11] consolidating, trimming back,

[1:44:13] identifying some areas that we don't

[1:44:15] need or how to consolidate some of these

[1:44:17] accounts. But I also went back and

[1:44:19] looked at our original contract with county IT services and the original

[1:44:24] rate for a network access account was

[1:44:26] about like $50,

[1:44:28] maybe like 568 or something. So it's

[1:44:30] gone up substantially. And so from 2020

[1:44:33] until now, it's been increased about

[1:44:35] 80%.

[1:44:36] So again further basic question um we've

[1:44:40] seen reduction in cost but would look at

[1:44:43] an in-house IT person will help us save

[1:44:46] money with costs. Could we look at a

[1:44:49] third party IT service provider? We do

[1:44:51] lease this building we're under

[1:44:54] ownership in this building as our rents.

[1:44:57] Um but as we look things longer term

[1:45:00] what would make more sense what make

[1:45:02] sense for us to manage these house? We

[1:45:05] pay for our telecom expenses, our phone

[1:45:08] lines, and all of our IT services,

[1:45:10] including our user accounts, our emails,

[1:45:14] um, Adobe PDF accounts, our GIS

[1:45:17] accounts, our Void phone, our customer

[1:45:19] service phones. And so, um, just earlier

[1:45:23] in the PGIs, as I mentioned, it wasn't

[1:45:25] shown on the screen, but it's in the

[1:45:27] PGIs as well, but we're paying about it

[1:45:32] plus phone services. We're currently

[1:45:34] about 17,500.

[1:45:37] So looking at that cost, would it make

[1:45:40] sense to look at something more inhouse

[1:45:42] or is there a better

[1:45:45] provider too? Again, these are driven

[1:45:48] from everywhere seeing cost. I think

[1:45:50] these departments are larger enterprise

[1:45:52] funded now within the county. So they

[1:45:54] have to cover their entire overhead and

[1:45:57] management cost as well. And then we

[1:45:58] have some IT um professionals in the

[1:46:01] room as well. So kind of curious to see

[1:46:04] what type of feedback or thoughts or

[1:46:05] ideas um that we may want to pursue as

[1:46:09] part of the two um expense items that we're seeing.

[1:46:15] >> One thing that does stand out to me is

[1:46:17] expenses of both uh environmental fees

[1:46:21] with organizations like the fire which

[1:46:25] have different security requirements you

[1:46:28] do. So you are you are effectively

[1:46:32] getting a small portion of that NHS rate

[1:46:36] of your services to them. Uh a managed

[1:46:39] service provider is a good start where

[1:46:42] you can hire out a firm that will

[1:46:44] basically charge you for just what you

[1:46:46] need. Uh it does come in a cost. Uh but

[1:46:52] it it does give you a very good picture

[1:46:54] on what you actually need

[1:46:57] infrastructure wise and then also

[1:47:00] obviously bringing in an internal person

[1:47:04] to manage that and handle a lot of the

[1:47:08] heavy lifting lifting that they charge

[1:47:11] premium for and then person

[1:47:15] uh and it's you know shift that balance

[1:47:18] of workload from the NSP

[1:47:21] uh as you can find the right people to

[1:47:24] fill those roles and can eventually cost

[1:47:26] you less money. It's kind of like paying

[1:47:29] for a cloud subscription or something. I

[1:47:31] mean those are supposed to be cheaper

[1:47:32] than having your own internal IP that

[1:47:35] you pay $100 a year.

[1:47:37] But the reality is you almost spend more

[1:47:41] services than if you were to do it on

[1:47:44] purpose. That's just normal.

[1:47:47] So which which bag you want?

[1:47:55] » That's a fun.

[1:47:57] >> So a lot of this discussion will kind of

[1:47:59] bring awareness to board members. um

[1:48:02] maybe something to to think about

[1:48:03] working to evaluate all these items, but

[1:48:07] if there are any um ideas or

[1:48:09] recommendations or areas that this body

[1:48:13] thinks we should should pursue from a

[1:48:15] priorization level, we'd be happy to

[1:48:17] hear those that feedback.

[1:48:20] >> I think where I'm at this point is just

[1:48:23] I want to continue to gather information

[1:48:25] before I feel like comfortable

[1:48:28] indicating a direction.

[1:48:34] That's all we have for this item.

[1:48:36] >> All right. Well, uh, last item. Um, we

[1:48:41] have a Herman, uh, city withdrawal says

[1:48:43] update.

[1:48:44] >> Yeah, I'll be super duper brief. Uh,

[1:48:47] more or less what we just wanted to let

[1:48:49] you know is that our conversations

[1:48:51] around

[1:48:54] hoping to have some more.

[1:48:58] will have noticed perhaps that you might

[1:49:01] have got an email today from

[1:49:04] another resolution indicating guarantee

[1:49:07] to withdraw which isn't necessarily it's

[1:49:09] just they're doing so under the statute

[1:49:16] but that doesn't necessarily mean that

[1:49:19] continue to attempt to get a negotiated

[1:49:24] withdrawal unless that's I think both

[1:49:26] parties

[1:49:29] So, we're still working on that. And

[1:49:31] that's basically the update is just to

[1:49:32] let you know that it's kind of

[1:49:38] » all right. Um I don't think we have any

[1:49:40] further closed session. Is that right?

[1:49:43] Okay.

[1:49:43] >> Well, and I want to say one thing. So,

[1:49:45] as per the the letter we received today,

[1:49:47] if there are questions, please reach out

[1:49:49] to me um and or Rachel would probably

[1:49:52] better the final question for me. I can

[1:49:55] correspond with information on those.

[1:49:58] Um, some of the content may seem

[1:50:00] concerning. Um, but, you know, we're looking through that to make sure

[1:50:04] that it continues to, um, satisfy

[1:50:08] hopefully both parties and and minimizes

[1:50:12] to the degree practical any impact to

[1:50:16] both as a whole and our remaining

[1:50:19] partneries throughout. So to come on

[1:50:21] that and then you feel free to to reach

[1:50:23] out to me anytime.

[1:50:28] » All right. Uh do we have any other board

[1:50:31] business?

[1:50:33] All right. Um do we have some items for

[1:50:37] subsequent board meetings um that we can

[1:50:39] look over at your leisure? Um then I get

[1:50:43] a motion to mature.

[1:50:48] » Second. Second. All in favor?

[1:50:53] Any

[1:50:53] >> oppose?

[1:50:55] And

[1:50:55] >> we are adjourned.

[1:50:58] >> Thank you.

[1:51:01] I'm sure

[1:51:05] » please

[1:51:14] watch

[1:51:28] your
