County Selects Stafford For Waste Removal

By DAVID SLONE, Times-Union Staff Writer-

For the next few years, Stafford Solid Waste will continue to provide waste management service for Kosciusko County.

Tuesday, Kosciusko County Solid Waste Management District Director Marsha Eikenberry recommended to the district board that the service contract be awarded to Stafford.

Stafford, which holds the current contract with the district, was the only company that bid on the contract last month. Three other companies chose not to bid.

The company will continue to operate the 12 recycling drop-off stations as they are now for $11,500 in monthly fees for 2000 and approximately $12,600 by 2002.

If Stafford collects materials at 11 of the recycling stations as they do now and also operates a manned recycling facility, monthly fees would be $14,618 for 2000 and $15,718 for 2002 included $35 per appliance with freon.

If the county gets a manned recycling facility, the second set of fees will go into effect and the first set will become void.

The contract for the district will be for three years to begin with and then two two-year renewable contracts.

The board approved awarding the contract to Stafford Solid Waste.

Two new board members will join the district in January. Joe Thallemer and David Delp will replace retiring members Edna Gamble and Porter Polston. Polston and Gamble were presented with plaques and sweaters for their work with the solid waste district.

New to the city advisory council is Syracuse town manager Brian Redshaw, who will begin his term in January.

The meeting dates for the district board and city advisory council will change in January. The city advisory council will meet at noon on the second Wednesday of every month. The board will meet at 1 p.m. the same day.

The board approved a resolution to transfer $8,000 (in the 2000 budget) from the education fund for the purchase of a new copier.

The election of a board chairman for 2000 was tabled until the January meeting.

Tuesday's meeting was a joint meeting of the district board and the city advisory council. It was held at the Covered Bridge Retreat in North Webster. Tom O'Grady, Athens County, Ohio, Solid Waste District director, was the guest speaker. [[In-content Ad]]
