The Parma finance committee moved Ordinance 138‑25 — authorizing the director of public service to enter a contract with the lowest and best bidder for residential solid waste collection, disposal and recycling services — to a second reading and referred it back to committee.

The ordinance was read into the record as having one prior reading; a council motion to advance it to a second reading and to return it to committee passed on a voice vote.

Discussion at the meeting did not include further detail on the proposed contract terms, the incumbent hauler, or projected cost changes to residents. Committee members did not receive additional public comment on the item at the meeting.

Next steps: the ordinance will return to committee for additional review before a subsequent reading and final vote.
