Commission considers amendments to solid-waste delinquent-fee policy, proposes 90-day access freeze for delinquents
Summary
Staff presented draft amendments to Granite County's solid-waste policy to freeze services for customers 90 days delinquent and require legal notice and attendant notification; commissioners asked staff to post the draft and return with corrected language for approval.
Granite County solid-waste staff presented a draft policy change intended to address outstanding accounts and clarify enforcement.
Solid-waste staff recommended that any customer with outstanding solid-waste fees or who is 90 days delinquent would be barred from using county solid-waste services until balances are paid in full, with a limited exception for pay-as-you-go customers who pay in full at the gate. The draft states notice shall be provided via legal notice in a newspaper and posted on the Granite County website; attendants should give verbal notice when reasonably practical.
Commissioners discussed operational details, including the need for Granite Disposal (the hauler) to provide accurate quarterly updates so county staff can flag accounts, handling of overage notices for intermittent customers, and whether deactivation should occur only after repeated notices. Commissioners instructed staff to post a corrected draft of the amendment on the county website, highlight the changes, and return a clean version for approval at next week’s meeting.
