Summary

Packet materials list per-site container counts and pickup frequencies; staff reported Onekama bins are being emptied three times weekly and recommended adding Bear Lake and Pleasanton townships to the GFL service list.

The committee packet included a site-by-site appendix that lists container counts and pickup schedules for participating townships. The appendix shows Onekama with eight bins and notes higher service demand; the coordinator told the committee Onekama bins "are being emptied three (3) times per week, not twice."

County staff told members that the GFL contract will be amended to add Bear Lake and Pleasanton townships to the roster of sites that GFL serves. Appendix A-2 lists Arcadia (5 bins), Bear Lake (4 bins), Maple Grove (3 bins), Pleasanton (2 bins) and others with their pickup frequencies. The committee recommended approval of the contract amendment as part of the broader contract recommendation so the contractor can update routing and schedules.
