Orange County Commissioners will review employee benefits and authorize the purchase of a new truck to haul solid waste when the board meets Tuesday night.

The projected renewal costs for county employee health benefits are expected to rise by 13 percent for the next year, but that increase will likely be paid by the county, not by individual employees.

Commissioners will also consider purchasing a hook lift truck for $193,000 to service the recycling compactors at Walnut Grove Convenience Center, the cardboard compactor at the landfill, and all of the purple rigid plastic roll-off containers at the County’s solid waste convenience centers and recycling drop off sites.

The board meets at 7 p.m. at the Southern Human Services Center on Homestead Road.
