An overview of the discussion:
DEP will publish the report from the consultant Arcadis regarding the long term solution on Solid Waste services within 1-2 months.
The unexpected incinerator maintenance cost in FY26 budget is now reduced from $35.5M to $28.5M. More information in the staff report.
Councilmembers expressed their frustration about the lack of information during the past years on the progress of moving away from the trash incineration.
Council member Kate Stewart requested monthly updates from DEP on the progress to ensure that County Council can make decisions on the budget and the CIP recommendations moving forward with appropriate information.
Next, the budget FY26 and the CIP recommendation for the MRBT facility will be discussed by the Council in early May.
