Ohio County court approves $15,000 consulting agreement for landfill franchise review
Summary
Ohio County Fiscal Court voted May 26 to approve a one‑year, $15,000 consulting agreement with Jason Anderson/SMR Environmental to assist with landfill franchise and lease closure issues and provide expert support, including potential engineering (PE) review and litigation-related needs.
Ohio County Fiscal Court on May 26 approved a one‑year, $15,000 consulting agreement with Jason Anderson of SMR Environmental to assist with a possible landfill franchise agreement and related lease‑closure and permitting issues.
A magistrate moved on behalf of the Ohio County Landfill Committee to authorize the contract; the motion was seconded and passed on a roll call vote. Court members said the consultant will help obtain professional engineering expertise and other technical support the county has needed in recent landfill matters. The mover described the work as addressing “closure issues with respect to this lease and franchise agreement” and said the consultant may be needed for potential litigation purposes.
The court authorized the judge to sign the agreement and directed staff to record the authorization in the minutes. No further terms beyond the one‑year term and the $15,000 amount were discussed during the meeting.
Next steps: the county will finalize the consulting contract and implement the consultant’s scope of work as authorized by the court.
