Pacific board approves waste-collection contract with Meridian Waste, subject to final edits
Summary
The Board of Aldermen approved Resolution 2024-26 directing the mayor to execute a waste-collection contract with Meridian Waste Missouri LLC, with final approval contingent on attorney-reviewed edits to contract exhibits and lists.
The Board of Aldermen voted to authorize Mayor Filley to execute a contract with Meridian Waste Missouri LLC for city waste collection service, passing Resolution 2024-26 on Sept. 17 by voice vote with language making final approval contingent on city attorney review.
City staff explained the resolution’s draft was submitted to the board to confirm pricing and business terms; Attorney Jones said the contingent language in section 1 allows legal staff to finalize exhibits and correct service lists before execution. Public Works Commissioner Bergeman discussed adjustments to facility dumpster lists and encouraged staff to provide final changes to Attorney Jones.
Why it matters The contract was presented as a cost-saving measure: council members noted Meridian’s proposed pricing is lower than the current provider and the other bid. Alderman Cleave and other members asked about prior performance reports; Mayor Filley referenced a positive report from a neighboring city (Eureka) that recently switched to Meridian.
Next steps Staff and the attorney will complete final edits to exhibits and confirm no material pricing changes have occurred before the mayor signs the agreement. The board also noted that notice to the current provider may be required depending on termination provisions and effective dates.
