First, it provides no incentive <br /> <br />for waste abatement programs. Second, in rural areas the amount of <br />compensation awarded by such a.program'is insignificant..Third,.no one at any <br />of the public meetings suggested that they wanted free refuse disposal as a <br />method of compensation.. Finally, this method of compensation will be difficdlt <br /> <br />to implement without establishing a solid, waste district or an organized <br /> <br />collection route. <br /> <br />r,nanc,n~j ' · - <br />A. Publicly Owned and operated: <br /> <br />The Metropolitan Council sell bonds t° finance county acquisition of the <br />landfill sites. Probably most counties will finance the construction, <br />operation and maintenance and other costs through drop charges (user fees) <br />rather than property taxes especially if a significaht portion of the waste <br />is coming from another county. <br /> <br />B. Publicly owned and privately operated: <br /> <br />Same as above. <br /> <br /> <br />
