McCandless council adopts ordinance to join North Hills composting program
Summary
The council approved Ordinance 1572 to enter an intergovernmental cooperation agreement with the North Hills Council of Governments to participate in a composting program; councilors cited preferred pricing and cooperative benefits.
The Town of McCandless voted to adopt Ordinance 1572, authorizing the town to enter an intergovernmental cooperation agreement with the North Hills Council of Governments and participating municipalities to permit the town to participate in a composting program.
Council discussion noted that some pricing changes were necessary because of equipment and operator costs, that participating municipalities agreed to continue the program, and that the town’s charter currently requires an ordinance for such agreements (a practice the speaker said differs from many other municipalities where a resolution would suffice). The solicitor and council are discussing potential charter updates to streamline similar cooperative agreements in the future.
The ordinance passed by voice vote after a motion and second; supporters said the program offers preferred pricing and community benefits.
