Vanderburgh Solid Waste Board approves routine measures, extends GT Environmental contract
Summary
The Vanderburgh County Solid Waste Management District Board approved minutes and routine financial items, authorized a $2,000 annual KEB container sponsorship, extended GT Environmental’s composting feasibility contract to Jan. 31 at no added cost (approved 3–1), and completed the required annual public hearing on vendor contracts.
The Vanderburgh County Solid Waste Management District Board met and approved routine business including minutes, vendor agreements and a contract extension for a composting feasibility study.
At the meeting, the board approved minutes from the Aug. 27, 2024 meeting and moved forward with a $2,000 annual sponsorship requested by KEB for trash and recycling containers at community events. An unidentified board member moved approval of the KEB grant agreement and the board approved it by voice vote.
The board also considered a first amendment to the professional services agreement with GT Environmental to extend the timeline for a composting feasibility study. Staff said the extension would move the contract end date from Oct. 31 to Jan. 31 and would not change the cost. The amendment was approved after the board recorded “3 ayes and 1 nay,” as announced at the meeting.
The board held its required annual public hearing to notify the public that it contracts with private vendors for collection, transport and disposal of tires, electronics and household hazardous waste because the district lacks its own facility. Staff described the item as a continuation of current policy and the accompanying resolution was approved.
The accounts payable voucher was presented and approved after a motion and second. Staff also presented proposed 2025 meeting dates to be held at 8:30 a.m. prior to commissioners’ meetings; the board acknowledged the schedule.
The meeting adjourned at 8:50 a.m.
Notes: Motions and votes recorded in the meeting transcript are described here as stated. The extension of GT Environmental’s contract was described by staff as costing no additional funds and passed with a 3–1 voice announcement of ayes and nays; individual board vote names were not provided in the transcript.
