		<description><![CDATA[News Analysis Cecil County’s landfill operations have been racking up expenses faster than fees paid by trash dumpers, despite rate increases last year and previous efforts by County Executive Tari Moore to make trash services pay for themselves. In her new budget, Moore proposes more fee boosts to make landfill operations begin to stand on their own fiscal feet. If adopted by the County Council, Moore’s proposals could make the landfill operations close to paying for themselves in the next budget year. And that could be one of the most fiscally-responsible moves Moore has made as county executive. In presenting her new budget recently, Moore said her goal was to make the landfill operations self-sustaining in the next budget year—instead of being a drain on county general funds. The county owns and operates a central landfill and two trash transfer stations at which people can drop off their garbage, which is then transferred by truck to the main landfill. The transfer stations, at Woodlawn and at Stemmer’s Run in Earleville, had their hours and days of operation cut back two years ago as a cost-cutting move. Landfill costs are covered by a so-called “enterprise fund,” meaning that fees paid by [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[News Analysis Cecil County Executive Tari Moore’s proposed budget would boost fees and taxes on many aspects of local residents’ daily lives, from buying a new home to living in a “manufactured” house, to playing a video game or a jukebox. Some of the proposed fee hikes are modest, affect rather obscure services and haven’t been changed in decades. Others, however, are controversial and could have significant impact on individual homeowners, homebuyers and the real estate industry. All told, the proposed new fee schedule would generate over $2.6 million in revenues to the county. And on top of those fee increases, Moore’s budget proposed a more than 2-cent increase in the local property tax rate, from the current 0.9907 to $1.0132 per $100 of assessed value. As a result, property taxes are estimated to yield $95,782,342 in revenues to the county in the new budget—an increase of over $4.1 million, due to the tax boost as well as projected higher property value assessments calculated by the state. As part of the fee and residents’ expense increase segment of her budget, Moore would do away with a 2 percent discount currently offered property owners who pay their tax bills early, by [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Trash-talking is often par for the course in some of the rhetoric employed by at least one member of the Cecil County Council during the panel’s meetings, and Tuesday’s worksession was no exception. But at least some of the talk by another county official will turn trash into gold. Scott Flanigan, the county’s Director of Public Works, told the Council that a new contractor had proposed paying the county for handling recycling of paper, metals, cans, etc.—instead of the current contractor’s “zero-zero” approach that takes the recyclables at no cost to the county but also doesn’t share with the county any of the money obtained from selling some of the materials. The new vendor, ReCommunity Delaware, Inc., will give the county an 18 percent share of the “value of the stream” of recycled material, Flanigan said. In addition, the company will give the county a grant of $26,000 a year to be used to promote recycling to citizens. And the firm will also handle document shredding for the county government and for community personal document shredding events at no cost to the county government. The Delaware company, a subsidiary of a national operation that has been in business for decades, [&#8230;]]]></description>
