Council authorizes Town Manager to negotiate trash contract; staff recommended Waste Management
Summary
After a joint procurement, staff recommended Waste Management for residential trash collection and the Council authorized the Town Manager to negotiate and execute a contract and issue a notice of award.
Council authorized the Town Manager to negotiate and enter into a contract for residential trash collection after staff presented results of a joint procurement with Woodstock and Mount Jackson. Planning staff stated "the staff's recommendation is that we move forward with Waste Management."
Councilmember Peg Harkness moved to allow the Town Manager to negotiate and execute the contract and issue the notice of award; Scott Wymer seconded. The minutes record the motion as carrying on a roll‑call described as 5‑0, but the listed individual votes include Jon Henry as Nay while another member was recorded Absent in other items, an inconsistency present in the official minutes. The Town will proceed to negotiate terms and return executed documents to the Council if required by procurement rules.
