Bristow to bring volunteer 'Replenish Recycling' program under city management
Summary
Volunteers and Mayor Kris Wyatt said the Replenish Recycling effort has run for three years; the council voted to have the city take over operations and directed staff to coordinate details with the Mayor.
The Bristow City Council voted on Aug. 5 to accept the volunteer-run Replenish Recycling program and transition its operations to city management. Mayor Kris Wyatt told the council volunteers, including herself, have maintained the program for the last three years and "would like to hand this over to the City." The council approved the motion and directed staff to work with the mayor to finalize implementation details.
Councilmember Judd Johns made the motion to transfer the program, and Jeff Roberts seconded. The decision does not include immediate budgetary specifics; the council asked staff to return with operational details, costs and any staffing or equipment needs at a subsequent meeting. The change shifts management of an existing volunteer service into city oversight, which may affect collection logistics and local outreach.
