Rich County amends refuse ordinance to clarify fee liability; change adopted unanimously
Summary
The commission adopted changes to the county refuse ordinance to clarify when an owner becomes liable for refuse service fees: liability begins when the county issues a certificate of occupancy and when collection service begins; gallon measurements were also updated.
The Rich County Commission adopted a revision to the county refuse ordinance that clarifies when liability for refuse service fees begins and updates container size language.
County staff explained that the revised section 4 will read: each owner and occupant of land located in the county is liable for the payment of said service fee and that liability begins when both (1) the county has issued a certificate of occupancy, and (2) the owner begins to receive collection services. Staff said the change responds to an incident in which a home had a certificate of occupancy but had not yet been receiving service.
Commissioners also reviewed changes to gallon measurements for container sizes; no other substantive changes to the ordinance were made, staff said. There were no public comments during the hearing.
A commissioner moved to adopt the changes; the motion was seconded and carried unanimously. Staff will prepare a clean signed copy for the county file and post the updated ordinance online.
