Solid Waste Meeting 11 09 2026

The Boone County Solid Waste District board meeting on November 10, 2026, covered financing and preparations for a new facility/property project. The board held public hearings and approved the bond-related action under Resolution 26-10, authorizing an additional appropriation based on a maximum bond amount of $8.5 million; county council was scheduled to consider the bond and appropriation resolutions the following day. Staff reported that the property and bond closing was targeted for the second week of December, with due diligence extended to December 17. A Phase 1 environmental report found no issues, and staff anticipated IT wiring, security, and painting work before relocating offices in January or early February. The transcript does not clearly capture a vote on the confirmatory resolution 26-09.

The board also approved engagement letters for attorney Dentons and controller Dale Kennedy; the attorney arrangement was described as a reduced rate with no travel charges, while the controller’s monthly fee covers four hours with additional hourly work. Members approved the 2027 salary ordinance after a 5% increase was proposed, approved the advisory committee’s grant recommendations (with $34,000 in requests reported), and approved a highway department dumpster-fund request; the exact amount of that request is unclear in the transcript. The county had adopted the district’s 2027 budget on October 6, with formal confirmation still pending. The transcript also lists proposed 2026 reappropriations, but does not clearly record a vote on them.
