The Meeker Public Works Authority discussed concerns with the current trash provider (Central Disposal/GFL), including ongoing communication problems and difficulty resolving service issues. The proposed contract with Eastside Waste was reviewed for pricing, contract length and service details; the agreement includes a 12-month term, automatic renewal, and a 90-day notice of non-renewal.
Town Attorney Jim Hodgens confirmed insurance requirements were appropriate and said the Town may have grounds to terminate the current contract for potential breach. Following discussion about street wear from larger trucks and container tracking, Trustee Aaron Head made a motion to terminate service with GFL and approve Eastside Waste; Trustee Kenneth Massey seconded and the vote carried with Massey, Head and Weber voting yes. The minutes state the implementation timeline was uncertain.
