Fleming County judge/executive to study exclusive solid waste franchise; discussion tabled
Summary
County Judge/Executive Larry H. Foxworthy told the Fiscal Court he is researching whether to implement an exclusive franchise for residential and commercial solid waste and recycling collection; the court tabled further action and may hold a special-call meeting to continue discussion.
County Judge/Executive Larry H. Foxworthy told the Fleming County Fiscal Court on March 10 that he is researching the implementation of an exclusive franchise for residential and commercial solid waste and recycling collection and disposal services for Fleming County.
Foxworthy said the topic requires additional study; the court tabled discussion at the meeting and indicated a possible special-call meeting could be scheduled to advance the issue. No motions or votes on establishing a franchise were recorded in the minutes.
The minutes do not record details about the proposed franchise structure, any potential service providers, expected financial impacts or an implementation timeline. The court did not direct staff in the minutes to prepare specific franchise terms; instead, the judge/executive said he would research the matter further.
If the county pursues an exclusive franchise, officials would need to define geographic scope, service standards, contract length, procurement rules and any transition plans for existing haulers; those elements were not included in the minutes and remain for future discussion.
