Summary
By unanimous vote the board approved FCO 2025-18, starting discussion on dissolving the Solid Waste District; Attorney Kristi Fox said Indiana does not mandate a solid waste district and public comment favored exploring private alternatives.
Attorney Kristi Fox introduced FCO 2025-18, an ordinance to start formal consideration of dissolving the county's Solid Waste District. Kristi Fox told the board that Indiana state law does not mandate the existence of a solid waste district and framed the ordinance as the procedural start to consider alternatives.
Public commenter Lili Lutgens suggested that, if the county moves away from a district, it should consider transitioning services to private enterprise. Commissioners voted unanimously in favor of starting the dissolution discussion; the meeting record does not show a final decision to dissolve or any timeline for next steps.
The transcript does not provide fiscal analyses or service-delivery alternatives; those matters will require follow-up work if the county proceeds.
