La Cygne authorizes five-year solid-waste agreement with Waste Management effective March 1, 2026
Summary
The council authorized the Mayor or City Clerk to sign a five-year Solid Waste Service Agreement with Waste Management, effective March 1, 2026, after City Clerk Jodi Wade reviewed terms including annual price-index increases; the approval was unanimous 4-0.
City Clerk Jodi Wade reviewed the term and the annual price-index increase section of the proposed service agreement with Waste Management and shared the new rate with the council, noting the agreement "is for a 5-year period." The council then authorized the Mayor or City Clerk to sign the Solid Waste Service Agreement with Waste Management to be effective March 1, 2026; the motion by Council Member Mitzner was seconded by Council Member Capp and passed 4-0.
Earlier in the meeting, John Blessing of Waste Management had addressed the council during 'Discussion from the floor,' explaining that the agreement had been renewed for only one year previously while Linn County negotiated transfer-station arrangements. He thanked the city and conveyed supportive remarks from his drivers about improvements in La Cygne. The contract's price-index provision and term were noted; the minutes do not include the full rate table or contract language, which are held with the city clerk's office.
