Court signs on to state waste‑tire program; event expected this fall
Summary
Spencer County approved participation in a state‑run waste‑tire management program that will host a tire collection event at no cost to the county; commissioners discussed advertising and staffing for the program and confirmed use of previously allocated funds if needed.
Spencer County Fiscal Court approved a waste‑tire management program agreement with a state program (recorded in the packet as Energy Environment Academy) that will host a tire collection event at no cost to the county.
Chair (speaker 3) moved to approve the agreement, saying the program requires local advertising and staffing; commissioners asked staff to prepare county ads and to identify project coordinators. Chair noted the agreement carries limited local expenses such as promotion and staff time, and that a $4,000 allocation previously received could cover related needs for the coming year.
Commissioners voted by voice to approve the agreement. Staff said the event typically requires three local volunteers for operations and that the county must place ads in local outlets to publicize the collection. The court will receive follow‑up materials and timelines from staff when available.
