This section defines key terms used in KRS 96.930 to 96.943.
Cities may cut off water service to collect sewer charges, and they may let sewer bodies issue the cutoff orders.
This section lets a city or sewer body arrange for sewer and water bills, and in some cases require water service to be cut off for unpaid sewer charges.
A water supplier may file written fees and agent-presence requirements with the city clerk, and it is not required to disconnect water service if it cannot get the required sewer-body agent to be present.
If sewer charges are disputed, the sewer user’s payment does not waive the right to recover improper charges, and the sewer body’s agent may adjust, refer, or delay-discontinuance the dispute.
A sewer body and a water supplier may make a contract about these KRS provisions, and the contract may require record copies or sewer-charge calculations. The contract cannot cancel a sewer body's delegated right to order water service termination.
A water supplier that stops service under a sewer body order is generally not liable, except for its own negligence or other improper conduct.
If a water supplier wrongly keeps providing water service instead of discontinuing it after a sewer body’s proper order and notice, it can be liable to the sewer body after 30 days.
This section defines terms used in the chapter, including city, county, transit authority, public body, governing body, proceedings, appointing authority, transit area, and mass transit.
A transit authority may be created by public bodies, and additional public bodies may later join if the board and previously participating bodies approve.
A transit authority created under this chapter becomes a corporate entity when the relevant proceedings take effect.
This section sets how a transit authority board is appointed, how long members serve, who cannot serve, and how members may be removed.
Each authority must use an initial fiscal period ending on June 30 after its creation, then use a fiscal year running from July 1 to June 30.
The board must meet at least once each month, special meetings need advance notice, and a majority of members is a quorum for business.
The board must elect officers on a schedule, and it may hire staff, create committees, and assign duties and controls for the authority’s management.
A transit authority may operate and acquire transit systems, but it has limits on competing service, piecemeal bus-company acquisitions, and condemnation of certain private bus companies.
A transit authority cannot levy taxes, but it may receive and use appropriations, gifts, grants, loans, money, or property, and related public bodies may contribute funds or property.
The Transportation Cabinet may receive and give transit-related funds, must apply for available federal operating subsidies, may help local governments form transit authorities, and may contract with a broker for human service transportation delivery.
This section creates the Kentucky Public Transportation Development Fund and says its money must be used for public transportation purposes and related administrative costs.
An authority may operate a mass transit system it establishes or acquires, or use management contracts instead.
