Bland County board extends Meridian Waste trash contract, amends FY23 budget calendar
Summary
During a May 4 continued budget session, Bland County supervisors unanimously extended the Meridian Waste trash contract, authorized the county administrator to sign, and approved an amendment to the FY23 budget calendar; specifics of the contract extension and calendar amendment were not provided on the record.
The Bland County Board of Supervisors on May 4 voted unanimously to extend the county’s trash collection contract with Meridian Waste and authorized County Administrator Dr. Eric Workman to sign the extension on the county’s behalf. The board also unanimously approved an amendment to the FY23 budget calendar during the continued FY23 budget work session.
Why it matters: Extending the county’s trash collection contract determines who provides curbside and municipal waste services and may carry budgetary and service‑level implications; amending the budget calendar affects the schedule for upcoming budget hearings and approvals.
Supervisor Adam Kidd moved to extend the Meridian Waste contract and authorize the County Administrator to sign the contract; Supervisor Stephen Kelley seconded. A roll‑call vote recorded Mr. Kidd—yea; Mr. Kelley—yea; Mr. Costello—yea; Mr. Johnson—yea. The motion passed unanimously. The transcript does not specify the length of the extension, the contract value, or whether any material contract terms changed.
Later in the same session, Supervisor Adam Kidd moved and Supervisor Keith Costello seconded a motion to amend the FY23 Budget Calendar. That motion also passed unanimously; the minutes do not record details of the calendar changes.
Opening business included a unanimous approval of the meeting agenda (motion by Adam Kidd, seconded by Keith Costello) and the pledge and invocation; the board recessed the continued meeting to Tuesday, May 17, 2022, at 4:00 p.m. at the Bland County Courthouse.
