§ 19-29. Additional requirements reserved.  


Latest version.
  • The board reserves the right, from time to time, to prescribe additional requirements, including, without limitation, the regulation of rates, fees and service charges no matter how denominated, for the protection of the health, safety, welfare and convenience of the public and to recognize changing circumstances as it is understood that the field of solid waste collection and transportation in a rapidly growing county such as Osceola is a dynamic process with serious and changing environmental, economic, legal, sanitary and transportation-related ramifications. The county expressly reserves the right to impose mandatory waste collection in all or portions of the county and/or to adopt municipal service taxing or benefit units, special districts or other means by which to fund such collection and to grant exclusive or nonexclusive contracts to selected service providers to provide such service, notwithstanding the grant of a franchise under this article. The county also expressly reserves the right to directly engage in and deliver waste collection services by its own forces. To the extent that existing or future state or federal law conflicts with any provisions of this article or any franchise granted under it, the state or federal law shall prevail except to the extent that said change in law would impair any covenants of indebtedness or other financing arrangement incurred by the county in reliance upon this article or any provision hereof.
