When the board of commissioners determines that it is necessary for the protection
of public health, to collect and dispose of sewage, offal, ashes, garbage, or other
refuse, they [sic] shall so declare, by resolution, as hereinafter [in this article]
provided, specifying in said resolution the service charges to be made against each
person or property to which said service is to be rendered, and said board of commissioners
may proceed to contract with some individual, firm or corporation for the collection
of such garbage and to require all persons residing in or on dwellings, business houses,
hotels, apartments or trailer parks in said district to cause their garbage to be
collected and removed, pursuant to such contract, and to prohibit the collection,
removal and disposition of said garbage from said district in any other manner, provided
that said contract shall not run for a period of time exceeding five (5) years; or,
said board of commissioners may provide facilities for the removal of said garbage
and may issue bonds to procure the necessary funds to purchase equipment, as herein
provided. Before levying said service charge, said board shall, by resolution, call
a public hearing to be held at some central location in said district, and shall publish
a notice in some newspaper having general circulation in said district, specifying
therein the time and place where said meeting shall be held. Said board shall give
the public full opportunity to be heard concerning the advisability of entering into
said contract, or the advisability of the board of commissioners providing the facilities
for the removal of said garbage, or the issuance of bonds and the levying of service
charges.
