Contract of 5 years asked if he would give us a 1yr contract. John Gardner has not
contacted Marty back as of today.
Discussion- recommend a year if we can feel it would be a better option.
Revise section K – soft recyclables– less items – concerns about competing with our
recycling days.
Maybe keep checking other reviews
In favor of concept – needs some fine-tuning and getting some answers before we
move forward. Clarify and brig back to the board.
No Action taken
