Council delays vote on SJ Environmental proposal to operate wastewater facility pending union agreement and formal contract
Summary
The City received a proposal from SJ Environmental to operate the jointly owned wastewater treatment facility under a five-year agreement; council delayed any decision and requested a written agreement with the Teamsters Union and the actual contract document rather than a scope of work.
The council reviewed a proposal forwarded by the City of Grand Coulee from SJ Environmental asking for a five-year operations-and-maintenance contract at the jointly owned Wastewater Treatment Facility. Council members did not take a final vote, citing missing documentation and outstanding labor questions.
Specifically, council members asked for a written agreement between Grand Coulee and the Teamsters Union approving a change that would reduce Grand Coulee employees on Electric City's roster and would allow SJ Environmental employees to join the union. Council also requested the actual contract language from SJ Environmental because the packet contained only a scope-of-work/proposal, not a completed contract. The council left the item pending further review.
