(a) The entire incorporated area of the Village is hereby designated as a solid waste disposal district pursuant to Ohio R.C. 3743.01 et seq.
(b) No person shall engage in the business of collecting or hauling solid waste, hazardous waste, refuse, rubbish, garbage, or infectious waste for single, multifamily residences or commercial establishments in the Village unless that person or entity is granted a franchise for a single such collection by Council. Council hereby deems that it is in the best interest of the public that a single solid waste collection system servicing all single, multi-family dwellings and commercial establishments be established within the political boundaries.
(c) The exclusive license for the collection of solid, semi-solid waste and other such materials, including hazardous and infectious waste shall be granted by Council at the sole and absolute discretion of Council after receipt of bids and Council retains the right to reject any and all bids so received. Further, the continuation of the franchise granted, if any, shall be subject to the discretion of Council. Council shall not, however, exercise the sole right to terminate the exclusive franchise granted unless and until it has given in writing notice to the franchise holder that there exists a deficiency in the operation. The franchise holder shall have a period of not less than 14 days and no more than 30 days to correct all such deficiencies.
