Summary
After a public hearing with no attendees, the board adopted Resolution 59‑09‑26 setting a $44 annual solid‑waste management fee per assessable unit and updating the code to assess parcels with structures valued at $1,000 or more.
Pipestone County commissioners adopted a new solid‑waste management service fee on Feb. 24, setting the assessment at $44 per assessable unit per year and updating county code to add parcels with structures valued at $1,000 or more to the fee schedule.
Environmental Director Kyle Krier led the required public hearing under Minnesota Statutes 400.08 and explained that assessable units are to be determined by including parcels with building structures capable of generating solid waste. Krier said no members of the public attended the hearing. Dallas Roskamp moved to open the hearing; Chris Hollingsworth seconded and the hearing was closed before the board adopted Resolution 59‑09‑26 by unanimous vote.
Why it matters: The fee is intended to fund local solid‑waste management services and updates a unit‑value schedule to expand assessment to additional parcels. The adopted ordinance text and rate schedule are posted on the county website, pipestone-county.com. The board voted unanimously to adopt the resolution.
