§ 18-11-102 — Powers; management; rates; penalty for violation of rules; removal

(a) Following the creation of a solid waste disposal
district the board of county commissioners shall appoint not
less than three (3) nor more than nine (9) residents of the
district to constitute the governing board of the district.
Appointees shall serve a term of three (3) years and may be
reappointed. Terms of office shall be staggered. The governing
board may exercise all powers granted to cities and towns by
W.S. 15-1-103(a)(xxi) and (xl) and shall adopt rules and
regulations in managing the disposal of solid wastes within the
district. Violation of a rule or regulation of the governing
board requiring disposal of solid wastes in designated sites
constitutes a misdemeanor punishable upon conviction by a fine
not to exceed seven hundred fifty dollars ($750.00) or
imprisonment not exceeding six (6) months or both. A governing
board may also enforce its rules and regulations by appropriate
legal proceedings and expend and generate revenue relative to
the purpose of a solid waste disposal district. The governing
board may permit persons or entities not included within the
district to utilize the facilities of the district. The
governing board may impose fees upon persons or entities
included within or outside of the district for the privilege of
utilizing the facilities of the district at rates established by
the governing board and any revenue generated in this manner
shall only be used to operate the district.
(b) The county commissioners may remove any member of the
governing board for cause without a public hearing unless the
member requests that the action be taken during a public
hearing. Vacancies on the governing board shall be filled by
the county commissioners for the balance of the unexpired term
created by the vacancy.
