Franklin County approves voucher system for free dump days after cities report contractor fees
Summary
Solid Waste Superintendent Peg Pearson told commissioners small cities are being charged dumping and overweight fees by the roll-off provider; the board approved a voucher system to offer free dump-day access for cities that decline roll-offs.
Peg Pearson, Solid Waste Superintendent, reported that several small cities participating in county cleanup days are incurring dumping and overweight fees charged by the roll-off contractor, not by Franklin County. Pearson proposed a voucher system to allow cities that do not want roll-offs to provide residents with vouchers for free dump days.
Commissioner Ianne Dickinson moved and Commissioner Colton Waymire seconded approval of the voucher system for free dump days; the board voted unanimously. The minutes indicate the voucher system was approved to address cities' concerns about unexpected contractor fees; implementation and administrative details were not specified in the meeting minutes and will be handled by Solid Waste staff.
The board's approval was recorded in the minutes; no additional budget authorizations or effective date beyond the March 11 action were listed.
