# 10/07/2026 Franklin County WA Board of Commissioners Meeting

At its October 7, 2026 meeting, the Franklin County Board of Commissioners unanimously adopted Resolution 2026-336, approving the county’s 2026–2031 Comprehensive Solid Waste and Hazardous Waste Management Plan. The plan was prepared with Herrera Environmental Consultants and reviewed by the Solid Waste Advisory Committee, the cities, and Washington State Ecology. The consultant estimated plan costs at $45,000–$50,000, with grant funding covering 75% and the county 25%. Discussion highlighted Franklin County’s privately operated waste system: Basin Disposal holds the exclusive collection franchise and owns and operates the transfer station. Commissioners discussed the lack of competition, differences in garbage-can rates, and possible options including changes to collection fees; no procurement or franchise change was approved.

The board tabled Resolution 2026-324, which would establish procedures to enforce recently adopted limits on public comment, for two weeks to allow further consideration and public input. Budget matters were raised in updates, but no specific county budget allocation or spending action was approved. The meeting also included an appointment to the Board of Equalization; no other procurement action was identified.
