On Wednesday, Commissioners will look to set the cap on the proposed solid waste fee, reserving the right to lower that rate by the time the budget is finalized between now and August.
The fee is planned to go toward joint city-county solid waste reform next year and the proposed EMS service upgrade on January 1st.
