BOARD OF HEALTH REPORT ES 2019 001.PDF

Report to the Board of Health
To Approve for Expedited Process
Prepared by the Maricopa County Environmental Services Department
Case #/Title: ES-2019-001- Maricopa County Transfer Station Fees
Meeting Date: April 22, 2019
Supervisor Districts: All Districts
Applicant: Maricopa County Environmental Services Department •
(Department)
Request: Approve the proposed Maricopa County Environmental Health
Code (MCEHC) revision for the Enhanced Regulatory Outreach
Program (EROP) Expedited Process.
Support/Opposition: The Department has not received comments either for or
against this EROP case. In addition, no stakeholders attended
the April 3,2019 stakeholder meeting. Approximately 175 flyers
were handed out at the transfer stations for about 2 weeks
informing citizens about the stakeholder meeting.
Department
Recommendation: Staff recommends the Board of Health approves this MCEHC
revision proposal for the EROP Expedited Process.
Discussion:
Transfer station operational expenses have increased as a result
of additional citizen demand, which in turn has caused a
revenue deficit for Maricopa County Waste Resources and
Recycling (MCWRR). To maintain compliance with A.R.S § 49-
741, which requires providing or ensuring solid waste public
facility services are available for citizens, MCWRR fee changes
are proposed.
This MCEHC proposal is following the EROP policy and workflow
process. In accordance with the Maricopa County Resolution,
"Moratorium on Increased Regulatory Burdens," the County
Manager authorized the Department to proceed with this case
in early February 2019. Also, the Board of Supervisors were
briefed by March 2019.

Subject: County Manager Approval- Enhanced Regulatory Outreach Process (EROP)
Case ES-2019-001- Fee Proposal for Transfer Stations Located within Maricopa
County
In accordance with the "Moratorium on Increased Regulatory Burdens" Resolution C-44-
13-104-M-02 adopted by the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors on January 10, 2018,
the Environmental Services Department is seeking your approval to initiate changes to the
Maricopa County Waste Resources and Recycling fees charged to citizens for the use of
waste transfer stations.
This proposal qualifies for County Manager approval under the moratorium, as these
changes will increase fees to use transfer stations within Maricopa County. The new EROP
case would be ES-2019-001- Fee Proposal for Transfer Stations Located within Maricopa
County, and will follow the EROP policy and workflow.
Maricopa County has more than 72,502 citizens that rely on our six transfer stations located
in the more rural areas of the county because they have no access to municipal trash services.
Increases in costs associated with disposal of trash, economic impacts and increased demand
have caused a deficit in revenues and expenses for the county. In an effort to continue to
comply with A.R.S § 49-741, Environmental Services is proposing a change in the Waste
Resources and Recycling fees. Maricopa County Internal Audit has recommended that the
department review its current budget and fee structure in order to fully or partially recover
the county's cost in the transfer activity (TRAN). The current fees have not been adjusted for
more than 10 years and have caused an imbalance of more than $408,000 in expenses and
revenues for the past 3 fiscal years.
This adoption is necessary to provide adequate and timely services to the citizens of
Maricopa County and recover the County's cost at its transfer stations. We are requesting
your approval to move this proposed revision forward in accordance with the Maricopa
County Resolution, "Moratorium on Increased Regulatory Burdens."
Approved by Joy Rich, Al CP , County Manager
