Oak Park board approves three‑year Waste Management contract with reduced haul fees
Summary
The Oak Park Board of Education approved a three‑year contract with Waste Management that reduces per‑haul fees for certain compactor and hallway services, eliminates some monthly hallway fees when unused, and holds monthly dumpster rates steady for 6‑ and 8‑yard units.
The Oak Park Board of Education voted Oct. 13 to accept a three‑year contract rate agreement with Waste Management that the board said reduces district costs for several waste‑management services.
The resolution, read aloud during the meeting, cites an approximate $300 reduction per haul for the high‑school compactor, an approximate $200 reduction per haul for district hallway services, elimination of the monthly hallway fee when services are not used, and no increase in monthly rates for 6‑ and 8‑yard dumpster services. Trustee Clark made the motion; Trustee Perriman (listed as the second) provided a second. Miss Greer then called the roll; trustees voted 'Yes' and the board chair announced the motion passed.
Trustees asked clarifying questions before the vote but no amendments were offered on the floor. The board recorded the roll‑call yes votes from Trustees Clark, Madison, Perriman, Rogers and Tyler.
Outcome: Motion passed by roll‑call; contract accepted as presented and will be executed according to standard procurement and contracting processes.
Next steps: Administration will finalize contract details with Waste Management and return any necessary implementation paperwork to the board for the public record.
