Compensation for local units which have the dubious honor of "hosting" solid waste landfills is a very high priority for the Association'of Metropolitan Municipalities. Since the local units of government will have very little actual control over these facilities under the provisions of the 1980 Solid and Hazardous Waste Movement Act, we believe compensation to those local units is only just and fair. The AMMhas several recommendations as follows: I. Tax Loss: : · A. If the property is taken off the tax rolls because of public ownership, then a payment in lieu of taxes (Pilo~) should be payed to the local unit on an annual basis. This payment should be calculated at the current year mill rate and should be over and above any statutory levy limitations. Bo If the facility is privately owned,it should be taxed on the same basis as the payment in lieu of. taxes above. In either case, the taxes or Pilot Should be based on an industrial property tax classification rate.
