County weighs higher tipping fee at landfill site
Finney County commissioners meet to decide raising the landfill tipping fee from $1 to $2 to fund future maintenance. The $1 fee, in place since 2003, supports post‑closure costs and well testing, with current funds around $500,000 and potential costly mitigation up to $600,000. Garden City opposes the increase citing higher costs for the solid waste department. The agenda also includes a 2008 legislative policy review and a rezoning request from Roger Jarmer to convert 9.2 acres near US 50/400/83 Bypass from agriculture to general commercial for a truck repair facility.
