Board Of Works Accepts Recycling Program Bids
July 28, 2016 at 4:25 p.m.
Bid documents for the city's curbside recycling program were presented to and approved by the Warsaw Board of Works Thursday.
The meeting was moved to Thursday instead of Friday because board members will be meeting with Indiana Department of Environmental Management today.
The recycling schedule shows citizens should have the service by April 6, on a biweekly basis.
Plans are for the city to purchase 40-gallon containers for either no sorting of materials or a "two-point" separation, dividing paper from other materials.
Bidders are requested to run their routes the same day as the city trash pickup. Bids are expected to be received Feb. 21 and awarded March 7.
Currently, the only place to take recyclable materials (except glass) in Warsaw is the collection station behind the KC Depot, 220 S. Union St.
BOW members Mayor Ernie Wiggins, Jerry Patterson and Charlie Smith approved several contracts requested by parks department activity director Janelle Wilson.
Several contracts were approved to begin the Friday evening concert series. The Bel-Airs are set to perform May 30, for $750; the Lake Area Community Band, July 13, $450; Northeast Indiana Banjo Society, Aug. 15, $500; Quentin Flagg, Aug. 22, $650.
In other business, the board:
• Approved easement agreements with Gloria Randels, Sansal and Thelma Basham, Anthony and Shirley Burish, Gina Basham and Carrie Clark - all owners of property along Brookview Drive. The easements will be used to install an interceptor line for the new wastewater treatment plant.
• Released a property lien against David and Barbara Gardino on land at 414 W. Fort Wayne St.
• Heard from Warsaw building commissioner Todd Slabaugh that owners of a vacant, unsecured building at 2411 Hendricks St. are securing the property. A demolition order is being appealed.
Slabaugh also asked that the unsafe building funds be used to demolish the structure at 621 E. Fort Wayne St., which has had an outstanding demolition order since June 2002.
Slabaugh said the owners are not taking any responsibility nor has there been a response from the mortgage company. The house received extensive fire damage in March 2001.
A low quote of $5,587 for demolition was received from G&G Hauling and Excavating Inc.
Patterson asked how the city would recoup the money spent for demolition. City attorney Mike Valentine said he was pretty sure the city lien would take precedence over a mortgage. Wiggins also wanted to be sure of the amount available in the unsafe building fund, which was cut for the 2003 budget.
• Approved Verizon cell phone contracts for the wastewater treatment plant and parks department; a computer contract with On-Site Consulting for the planning and building department; and a maintenance agreement with Comfortemp Inc. for the police department.
• Approved a request by the police department to apply for two STOP applications and one VOCA application to support the victims' assistance office and staff and the Beaman Home.
Funded by the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute, this will be the ninth year for VOCA and the seventh for STOP, if approved.
• Approved salary increases for firefighters Rob Barker, Mike Brubaker and Fred Parrett, who have completed their six month probationary term.
• Reviewed a list of 23 city employees who are YMCA members. [[In-content Ad]]
