County says Piney convenience center compactor awaits state sign‑offs before bidding
Summary
County staff told commissioners the trash compactor at the Piney convenience center is delayed pending state approvals and completion of required documentation and training.
Van Buren County staff told commissioners July 7 that the Piney convenience center’s trash compactor project is on hold pending final state approvals and completion of required documentation and training.
A commissioner asked, “How are we on the convenience center in Piney? I mean, on the trash compactor?” County staff responded that they were “waiting approval now from the state for all people to sign off on it” and that staff must receive that documentation before placing orders or beginning work. Staff said a required class and a title‑six certificate had been completed; county staff described receiving multiple certificate types and awaiting a final sign‑off from the state before moving forward with bids and orders.
No motion or formal deadline was set; staff said they were awaiting state paperwork and would proceed once documentation arrived.
