Ava aldermen ratify land closing authorization and approve five-year landfill contract addendum
Summary
The Board of Aldermen unanimously approved a resolution authorizing the mayor to execute closing documents for a land purchase and approved a five-year addendum with Black Oak Sanitary Landfill that holds rates steady this year, with further annual cost review.
The City of Ava Board of Aldermen on March 24 approved two resolutions: one authorizing the mayor to execute closing documents for a land purchase and another authorizing a five-year addendum to the city—ontract with Black Oak Sanitary Landfill.
On Resolution #2026/03.02, a motion by Alderman Noel Dye, seconded by Alderman Billy Stewart, ratified returning to documents dated March 11, 2026; the motion carried on a 4-0 vote. The minutes note the resolution authorizes the mayor to execute and the city clerk to attest the closing documents for the purchase (exact property details in the closing documents were not specified in the minutes).
Resolution #2026/03.03, approving and authorizing the mayor to sign the addendum for solid waste disposal service with Black Oak Sanitary Landfill, passed on a motion by Billy Stewart seconded by Noel Dye and was adopted 4-0. The addendum was changed to a five-year agreement and the minutes record there will be no rate increase this year; aldermen instructed staff to review average CPO annually to determine whether a future increase is needed.
Why it matters: the land purchase authorization enables staff to complete a planned acquisition, and the landfill contract addendum locks the city—ontractual terms for five years while preserving an explicit annual review of cost pressures.
What happens next: the minutes record the motions and unanimous votes; the minutes do not include parcel identifiers or full contract language. Further details and the finalized closing and contract documents should be available in the city clerk—ile if residents request them or at the next meeting.
