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.
