Kearney to accept MARC recycling containers at no cost; ordinance adopted
Summary
On May 18 the board adopted Ordinance No. 1694‑2026 approving an MOU with the Mid‑America Regional Council to receive recycling containers and signage at no cost for the Cleats & Beats watch party and future downtown/park uses.
Carolyn Yatsook, Economic Development Director, presented a memorandum of understanding with the Mid‑America Regional Council (MARC) that would provide recycling containers and signage to the city at no cost. The minutes say the containers will be used at the Cleats & Beats watch party and at future downtown or park locations.
"Yatsook explained this memorandum of understanding provides the City to get recycle containers from MARC at no cost for the Cleats & Beats watch party," the minutes record. After two readings the board approved Bill No. 33‑2026 on second reading by a 4–0 roll‑call vote; the ordinance was numbered 1694‑2026.
The MOU acceptance allows staff to deploy MARC‑provided containers at city events and select public spaces. The minutes do not specify how many containers will be provided or whether the city must meet any maintenance or branding conditions.
