Commissioners adopt Lake Region Solid Waste Management Plan
Summary
The board approved Resolution No. 2025-964 adopting the Lake Region Solid Waste Management Plan, a seven-county regional plan; the Lake Region Solid Waste Authority presented minor annual updates and staff will submit the authorization package to the state in January.
The Coffey County Board of Commissioners approved Resolution No. 2025-964 adopting the Lake Region Solid Waste Management Plan for 2025, after a brief presentation by Shea Hainesach of the Lake Region Solid Waste Authority.
Hainesach described the item as "our annual review" and said the plan updates are mostly minor: data tables are refreshed annually so the five-year comprehensive review is not burdened by five years of changes. She told commissioners the region now includes seven counties and that she collects each county's authorization signatures for submission to the state. Hainesach said she would submit the county's authorization in January as part of the plan review process.
A motion to approve Resolution No. 2025-964 was made, seconded and approved on a voice vote.
The decision represents the county's formal sign-off on the regional plan for 2025 and commits the county to the minor updates and data collection process described by the regional authority. The county will transmit its authorization along with other counties for the 2025 plan review submission to the state.
