Tonight is the last regular City Council meeting of the year, there is no work session meeting or second meeting planned for December.
Consent Agenda:
First on the agenda, the council will consider the Consent Agenda. Some of the main items on the Consent Agenda include approving a new trash and waste hauling contract with Dick’s Sanitation Service. The city had received 4 proposals with DSI coming in at the best cost and overall representing a decrease in residential trash costs. As well, there are several other items into the contract that were negotiated:
