Summary

Residents asked why some porta-potties at local events were not serviced on weekends; councilors explained private vendors sometimes procure their own units and the city pays approximately $170 per cleaning and about $4,000 for units and cleaning in the ski market. The council plans to pursue more regional advertising through the county tourism pool and Chamber.

Residents raised concerns about porta-potty servicing at events such as Labor Day and Memorial Day and whether the city advertises flea-market events beyond local channels. A meeting participant noted the cleaning cost is about $170 per service and that "We paid $4,000 to have the toilets we have and have them cleaned" for the ski market.

Council members explained that private vendors sometimes provide units and do not always pay for city-serviced cleaning, which can create confusion when units placed by vendors are not in the city’s service loop. The council said it plans to work through the county’s transit-room-tax pool and the Chamber to expand regional advertising and better coordinate event sanitation arrangements.
