Jackson County tables Dittmer recycling contract over representation clause
Summary
The board tabled a proposed rural recycling contract with Dittmer Recycling after supervisors raised questions about an "authorized representatives" clause that could allow a single designee to act on behalf of a party; staff will seek clarification from counsel and the company.
The board discussed a proposed rural recycling contract with Dittmer Recycling but decided to table the item to clarify a clause describing authorized representatives.
Supervisors and staff noted page 10 of the draft contract names authorized representatives and questioned whether a single person could act for a party without board approval. One supervisor said, "I just want to make sure that one of us is not making a decision or had without the board approval," and asked staff to confirm the clause with counsel and the contractor. The board voted to table the contract and asked staff to return with clarified language and any necessary edits before taking final action.
