Council adopts resolution creating solid-waste task force as city considers contracting services

The City Council on Tuesday adopted Resolution 25-19 to create a solid-waste task force connected to the city’s intent to contract residential solid-waste services. Councilmember Shields moved the resolution; Councilmember Pryor seconded and the motion passed unanimously.

Resolution 25-19 was described in the agenda as creating a task force related to the city’s intent to contract residential solid-waste services. The council did not specify the task force’s membership, timeline, deliverables, or budget during the meeting; those details were not included in the record and are therefore not reported as decisions from the council at this session.

The resolution passed on a recorded vote with all councilmembers voting in favor. Staff or council members did not identify a firm implementation schedule or name specific vendors at the meeting; additional details will need to be provided by staff or in subsequent council actions if the task force’s scope is to be carried out.

The council later continued into other business without further discussion of solid-waste contracting at this meeting.
