Summary
The council read Ordinance No. 656 in full as an emergency reading and approved an amended franchise agreement with Western Oregon Waste (amending Recology Western Oregon), with no public testimony recorded at the hearing.
The Lafayette City Council conducted an emergency reading in full of Ordinance No. 656 and approved granting an exclusive franchise to Western Oregon Waste to manage solid waste services in the city.
Mayor Hilary Malcomson opened and closed the public hearing on the ordinance at 7:21 p.m. with no testimony. Councilor Joseph Carswell moved to approve the ordinance amending the Recology Western Oregon franchise agreement and to waive the second reading pursuant to the Lafayette City Charter; Council President Kayla Paulsen seconded. The motion passed unanimously.
Why it matters: this ordinance finalizes the city’s contract/franchise arrangement for solid waste management under the named franchise holder and removes the need for a second reading under the emergency provision used at the meeting.
