The Steamboat Rock City Council approved a motion June 9 to transfer the town's sanitation contract to McDowell Sanitation Services and extend the contract an additional five years beyond the current expiration date of Jan. 31, 2027, moving the contract end to 2032. Shane Blythe of Blythe Sanitation told the council McDowell will take over service on July 1, 2025 and asked that the city assign the existing contract to McDowell and extend it for five years.
After brief discussion about the transition, council member Cory Schurman moved to extend and transfer the contract; Travis Hollander seconded the motion and it passed.
