From the meeting
Council was asked to authorize a two-year contract, with two optional one-year extensions, for hauling and disposal of liquid sludge and filter cake from the city's two wastewater treatment plants. The ordinance said bids had been reviewed and the lowest and best bidder was selected, with costs not to exceed $550,000 per year and the work funded from the 2027 budget. The project was tied to the city's NPDES permit and sludge management plans, and the contract had to be in place before January 1, 2027 to avoid service disruption.
Decision state: scheduled for passage.
