Belpre council approves exclusive garbage and recycling franchise
Summary
Belpre City Council passed Ordinance 22 to authorize the Safety-Service Director to solicit bids and enter a contract for an exclusive garbage and recycling collection franchise.
Belpre City Council voted March 24 to approve Ordinance 22, authorizing the Safety-Service Director to advertise for bids and enter into a contract awarding an exclusive franchise for garbage and rubbish collection within the city limits. The ordinance explicitly includes recycling collection, a point raised by Council member Ms. Riffle during discussion.
Mr. Ambrozy introduced the ordinance and moved to suspend the rule of council so second and third readings could occur that night. The council voted to suspend rules and then adopted the ordinance as Ordinance 22, 2024-2025; all members present voted "aye." The ordinance was brought forward from the Utilities Committee and had been discussed in committee earlier in the meeting.
Council did not record any amendments to the franchise text in the meeting minutes. The ordinance authorizes the Safety-Service Director to proceed with advertising for bids and negotiating contract terms; the council did not specify a contract start date or vendor in the meeting records.
