The Manager of Finance stated that recycling commodity prices are still struggling and the revenue earned from the sale of recycled material was $67,700 lower than projected for 2019.

The additional net revenue serves to increase the 2019 projected surplus. A full year end report for 2019 will be provided to the Board in May when the audit is completed by KPMG.

Mr. McKenzie asked where would the money be allocated if the Authority realizes an actual surplus. The Manager of Finance stated that it would be included in the Rate Stabilization Reserve.

Mr. Morrison asked if the Authority is receiving a lot of soil from the new bridge project and if more soil is expected from this project.

She stated that she will provide an update for January – March 2020 at the May Board meeting.
