A fiscal court may:

In order to exercise any or all the powers enumerated in subsection (1) of this
section, the fiscal court shall adopt a county ordinance explicitly stating which of
the powers the fiscal court intends to exercise and setting forth the procedures by
which the sanitation district shall submit plans and documentation for review and
approval, amendment, or disapproval. The exercise of such powers shall become
effective thirty (30) days following the effective date of the ordinance. In the case of
districts lying in two (2) or more counties, no fiscal court shall exercise the powers
enumerated in subsection (1) of this section until each fiscal court has adopted
conforming ordinances stating the powers to be exercised.
In the case of districts lying in two (2) or more counties, the votes of the respective
fiscal courts shall be weighted in the same manner as appointments to the district
board are apportioned pursuant to KRS 220.140.
In the case of districts governed by the provisions of KRS 220.135, the county
judges/executive shall exercise the powers listed in subsection (1) of this section.
They shall meet jointly at least once each fiscal year to exercise these powers. Their
votes shall be equally weighted. Service charges, rates, and user fees for districts
with more than ten thousand (10,000) customer accounts shall be approved as set
out in KRS 220.542.
Service charges, rates, and user fees in districts not governed by the provisions of
