Selma BID approves purchase of 10 split-liner downtown trash cans
Summary
The Selma BID Advisory Board voted to buy 10 lockable, split-liner trash cans for downtown, choosing a design that combines trash and recycling with rain tops and front locks for Public Works. The board authorized procurement after discussing placement, cost and maintenance.
The Selma BID Advisory Board voted to order 10 metal trash cans with split liners and rain tops for downtown. Jose, who presented the proposal, said the split-top option would pair recycling and trash in a single unit and that each can would include a rain cover and a locking mechanism so Public Works can secure the liners.
Board discussion focused on placement and cost. Jose said he requested a quote for 10 cans and proposed placing them in event-heavy locations near the art center and restaurants; he also proposed prioritizing areas such as in front of banks and high-traffic retailers. One board member said keeping spare cans on hand would ease replacements during events.
Speaker 5 moved to place the order for 10 trash cans with the split liner and rain top; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote. The board directed Jose to coordinate procurement with Public Works and to ensure the purchase follows the city's procurement process.
Next steps: staff will finalize procurement details, confirm final cost and contract terms, and coordinate installation locations with Public Works.
