Annapolis County council is trying to resolve its legal problems stemming from a dispute over its waste management system.
On Tuesday, councillors voted in favour of starting preliminary talks with the provincial Environment Department and Kings County one of six municipalities that launched a lawsuit in 2019 against Annapolis County after that municipality withdrew from the regional waste authority.
The seven Annapolis Valley municipalities jointly operated Valley Waste for nearly two decades before the Municipality of the County of Annapolis raised concerns over the budget process and parted ways with the authority.
