PUBLIC UTILITIES
Several major capital projects will continue to impact this portion of the budget. With these
investments and a slowing of our revenue from growth, it is imperative that we maintain the
financial means necessary to meet our daily needs and, at the same time, retain the ability to
respond when economic development opportunities require infrastructure investment.
SOLID WASTE
Weare proposing that the tipping fee and household fee be increased $1.00 to fund a mobile
home disposal program which would require participation by the owner as well as the county.
These funds would also assist in funding a position in the Planning Department that would assist
in clean-up efforts.
CONCLUSION
We believe the proposed 2004-2005 budget is an investment in Harnett County's future. As
presented, it will continue to emphasize the priorities of the Board regarding economic
development, law enforcement, and education and, at the same time, will permit us to better
serve our citizens in a variety of areas. Also, it will strengthen the county's financial position
and permit us to maintain the reputation as a fiscally sound and conservative unit of local
government.
