**Includes owner dividends in the expense budgets; $1,029,375 in 2021 &
$920,000 in 2022, split between Salt Lake County and Salt Lake City.
The 2022 budget request includes an estimated tonnage of 485,902 which is a
slight increase of 6,979 from the 2021 tonnage estimate of 478,923. The expense
budget includes owner dividends.
Regarding impacts to the Salt Lake City budget, an ongoing owners’ dividend
from the Landfill is paid to the County and the City. Owner dividends are paid to
Salt Lake City and Salt Lake County monthly. Dividends are calculated according
to five categories: methane sales, metal recycling, soil royalties, time deposit
interest earnings, and investment interest earnings. The City’s allocation is
received as revenue to the Refuse Fund Class, in its Energy and Environmental
(E&E) Fund and is used to cover Sustainability staffing and operational expenses
in the E&E Fund.
The City’s FY22 budgeted dividend is $515,000. Based on Salt Lake County’s
adopted FY22 budget, it is expected the City’s actual revenue from owner
dividends will be slightly lower than budgeted for City FY22. The decrease in
owner dividends are attributed to historical reduced interest income and soil
regeneration royalties.
