Fiscal Court holds first readings to modernize solid-waste rules and facility-siting
Summary
The court read titles of two proposed Pike County ordinances that simplify older solid-waste rules and establish facility-siting requirements; both are first readings only and will be advertised prior to final action.
The Pike County Fiscal Court conducted first readings by title of two proposed ordinances decoupling and modernizing the county's solid-waste regulations.
Judge Jones and Roy presented the housekeeping updates that consolidate parts of older ordinances from the 1980s into a single, simplified code and a companion ordinance addressing facility siting. Roy told the court the county's authority to regulate solid waste flows from state law and that the draft ordinances mostly remove redundant or outdated language.
No votes were taken at the first reading; the judge directed the clerk to coordinate advertisement for the next meeting and to prepare the ordinances for action after the required notice period.
