A Resolution authorizing and directing the Mayor, on behalf of the Urban County Government, to approve the Amendment to the Solid Waste Management Plan for 2023-2027 at a cost not to exceed $562.44 for advertising. [Div. of Waste Management, Baldon]

This resolution authorizes the Mayor to approve an amendment to the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government's (LFUCG) Solid Waste Management Plan for 2023-2027. The amendment is required by state law (KRS 224.43-340 and 224.43-345) to reflect a new three-year contract with Republic Services of Kentucky, LLC, for waste hauling and disposal, effective July 1, 2025, with options for two additional three-year renewals. Republic Services will operate the Transfer Station at 1505 Old Frankfort Pike and utilize the Tri-K Landfill and Benson Valley Landfill for disposal, both offering at least ten years of capacity. LFUCG commits to delivering a minimum of 100,000 tons of waste annually, and Republic Services will pay LFUCG a $2.00 per ton host fee for non-LFUCG waste processed at the Transfer Station. The resolution's cost is $562.44 for advertising the required public comment period, which concluded without public input.
