Medora board tables Rumpke trash contract pending vendor clarification
Summary
The board reviewed a proposed Rumpke service agreement listing a base rate of $175.38 per month and an unclear $9.93 line item; members asked staff to call the vendor for details and tabled the contract for later consideration.
Chair introduced a new agenda item presenting a proposed contract with Rumpke for trash service that listed a base price of $175.38 per month and an additional $9.93 monthly line item the board could not immediately identify. Members discussed specific charges, whether the $1.75 figure referenced a porta-john or a fuel surcharge and whether the dumpster at the water tower is billed separately.
Board members noted the town has paid a monthly porta-potty fee at the water-tower location for roughly a year and discussed whether, over time, it would be more economical to build a permanent restroom rather than continue monthly payments. Several members suggested calling Rumpke for clarification before signing a new yearlong contract; the Chair directed staff to follow up and tabled the item.
No formal vote to approve the contract was taken; members agreed to gather cost details and consider longer-term infrastructure alternatives.
