The Pettis County Commission is scheduled to hold a public hearing beginning at 9 a.m. on Thursday, February 17, to take action on a proposed Waste Management Ordinance and Host Agreement.

The commission says the public hearing will be held in the county commission chambers at the Pettis County Courthouse in Sedalia.

The proposed ordinance and host agreement currently are lying in the commission chambers for 20 days to allow for public inspection. A moment dedicated for public comment will be available during the hearing and throughout the 20-day layover period. Public comments may be made before the bench during regular session but also must be submitted in writing.

The Commission generally meets from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. Monday through Friday (unless otherwise specified on the agenda). Written comments may be mailed to 415 South Ohio Avenue, Suite 212A, or e-mailed to andersonk@pettiscomo.com.

Copies of the proposed ordinance and the proposed host agreement will be available in the commission chambers and on http://pettiscomo.com/solid-waste-proposal/.
