2a. Lane Ramsey, Budget Director was present and recommended the Board
incr the disposal fee for the Chester Landfill to offset the
cost operation. This increase would not fund the current
$80,1 contract for capping off I0 acres of the landfill, but that amo~
coul, be transferred from available funds in the Genito
Land: project. Mr. Bookman inquired what the proposed cost per
ton be for the Genito Landfill, andMr. Manuel stated that it
was ~timated at $8.05 per ton. Mr. Bookman inquired about the
feas )ility of buying scales for the Chester Landfill and then
relo~ ~ting them at the Genito Landfill. Mrs. Girone voiced concern
that )perating costs for the landfill had been subsidized all these
year~ and that perhaps a rate increase would absorb these additional
cost~ After further'discussion, on motion of Mr. Daniel~ seconded
by Bookman, the Board voted to increase the .disposal fee effective
10/1~ 0 to $6.25 per ton ($1.57 per cubic yard) to provide revenues to
offs~ ~ contract costs for operating the Chester Landfill in 1980-81 and
1981-~2, and further, aUthorized the transfer of $80,858 from available

Chester Group has recommended the widening of Route 10 as
thE'best solution to traffic problems in Chester, and

a basis of comparison for the general public,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Chesterfield

comparative cost, traffic capacity, and impact information on
the Route I0 widening, the Northern and Southern bypasses
identified by the Chester Group, and any other alternatives
that the VDH&T may deem potentially feasible, and
