The town board deviated from the agenda to take up
Item 10-a of the Agenda.
a. Bill Eisch and
Brian Thome of Waste Management were present and asked the town board if they
would allow Waste Management to change their schedule of picking up garbage and
recyclables in the town by providing pickup every Monday with a schedule to
pickup for residents on Elm Road and to the east on one Monday and on the next
Monday providing pickup for all residents west of Elm Road rather than having
two trucks with two drivers doing the pickup for the whole town every other
Monday. This would result in a cost saving
because of having only one truck with one driver doing the pickup for the town
rather than two trucks and two drivers.
There was discussion regarding notification of residents and a tentative
startup date for the new schedule would be the first Monday in May. MOTION
(Lewis/Powers/PASSED) to change the Waste Management pickup schedule to
service for all residents on Elm Road and to the east on one Monday and service
for all residents west of Elm Road on the next Monday.
