Falls City Sanitation has been providing the service for many years. The only other bid submitted was from Hamilton Recycling and Disposal of Falls City.
City Administrator Gary Jorn said the Management Committee recommendation was to award the bid to Falls City Sanitation after comparing the various aspects of the bids.
Council member Joe Buckminster made a motion to award the bid to Hamilton Recycling and Disposal. Buckminster said while he appreciates the years of service by Falls City Sanitation, he felt despite a higher price, it would be good to move forward for the future with a young entrepreneur.
Buckminsters motion died for a lack of a second.
After comparing the dollars on the various aspects of the service, the Falls City Sanitation bid was described as substantially less.
Council members Buckminster and Kenny Killingsworth voted against the motion to award the bid to Falls City Sanitation. Council member Derek Leyden was absent from the meeting.
In other business during the meeting Administrator Jorn reported that information for the Fiscal Year 24-25 audit has been submitted to the auditor and that field work by the auditor would be taking place this week.
