[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,

[14:52] second. All in favor?
[14:53] >> I.
[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
