From the meeting
Public Works and Legal staff were revisiting the solid waste ordinance because the city is transitioning to automated side-loader collection. The memo said the rules need to align with wheeled bins and downtown collection issues such as contamination, overflow, and commercial pickup boundaries. The council was asked to schedule a work session on December 7, 2026, so the buying signal is the operational change in collection method, not a procurement award.
