4. 2006 Budget Year- Bob presented the committee with the end of year 2006 numbers
for the Landfill and Collection. Bob noted that both funds had a very good year.
The Collection operation had a year end cash balance of $ 137,218.40. The reason for
such a good balance at the end of 2006 was based on repair bills being down and the
increase in construction in Brookings has help the revenue based on the large number of
new homes the collection department is now serving.
The Landfill had another good year based on more special projects that took place over
the 12 months of 2006. The landfill ended 2006 with a cash balance of $ 306268.71.
Bob reviewed the restricted cash balances. These balances reflect the payments we make
in April of each year for closure and post closure of the existing landfill. As of the end of
2006 there is $ 518,115.00 in the fund plus interest of $ 199,235.98. The balance in our
Future Solid Waste Fund with principal and interest is at $ 167,389.84.
Summarizing the year of 2006, both the collection and landfill had better than normal
years based on revenue and they were able to meet their need to operate in the black.
5. Spring Clean Up Recap – Bob reviewed the spring clean up number for 2007 and
noted that the number of loads were down , which is a reflection on all the numbers
compared to 2006. The bottom line on total clean up cost was down $ 20,277.57 based
on figures from the year before.

since year end 2006. The collection will be purchasing a new pickup in July or August to
replace the 1983 S10 pickup. Bob’s also in the process of bidding yard waste bags and

construction of the last trench.
