Coos County Commissioners should enforce agreement with Waste Connections

The veiws expressed here are mine, and do not necessarily represent those of other county employees.

My name is Randy Sanne, I am the creator of this site and I am also an employee at the Beaver Hill Disposal site. The article that I have posted below is obviously of great importance to me, and I hope, after reading it, will be to you too. You will also find links to three proposals that I have presented to the Commisioners as well as supporting documents. I hope for your support but I want your comments regardless your position. Names are of course optional but would be appreciated as they add validity to the comments.

 "NEW"

 SUPREME COURT DECISION IN CASE BETWEEN UNITED HAULERS AND ONEIDA AND HERKIMER COUNTIES  

(the first page of the decision clearly defines the counties authority)

 In 1994 the Coos County commissioners realized the right of the citizens to decide the fate of the Beaver Hill facility and they chose overwhelmingly to upgrade and keep the site open. In 2001 the commissioners again acknowledged that the citizens desired to keep the facility open and operated by the county. And again in 2009 citizens filled the rooms and spoke overwhelmingly in favor of the continued operation of the BHDS. I believe the opinion of the citizens of Coos County are the same today as they were in 1994, 2001, and 2009 and I  feel that the fate of the BHDS should only be decided by ALL the citizens of Coos County.

Would a System Benefit Fee

be good for Coos County's

Solid Waste Facility   

This System Benefit Fee was adopted in 2000 by Commissioners in Lane County as a way to ensure that the county would not lose revenue that benefited the citizens of Lane County should haulers opt to take waste to facilities not operated by, or outside, the county.
