§ 2-16-22. Franchise agreements with authorized collectors for collection service.

The board may enter into a franchise agreement with any person to provide for collection service within specified portions of the unincorporated county (and the incorporated areas within the county to the extent permitted by applicable law). Such franchise agreement shall contain a description of the service area; the name of the person to collect the solid waste and recyclable materials generated within the service area; the length of the franchise agreement; the consideration to be paid for such franchise agreement and the method of payment; the service to be furnished; the amount and method of payment to the authorized collector for his performance under the franchise agreement; the performance bond and the conditions thereof to be furnished by the authorized collector; and such reasonable rules and regulations governing the performance by the authorized collectors as are deemed necessary to implement the provisions of this chapter. Such franchise agreement shall be exclusive and the term may be for up to fifteen (15) years; provided, however, that such agreement may provide for renewal for up to an additional fifteen-year period following a full public hearing during which the authorized collector's performance and all terms and conditions of the agreement may be reviewed, altered or amended by the county.
