Appearance: before the council to request an increase in the amount the
City' s original contract had agreed to pay them. They cited
the fact that the numbers given them by the city for the
number of persons needing garbage pickup was about 727 less
than the actual pickups needed and this caused the money
received to be less than the amount on which they based
their bid. They (Waste Technology) , if this increase is
allowed, would add four seasonal pickups to their schedule
for other than regular garbage.
Before making a decision on this matter, the council decided
they would like to have the following:
1. A written opinion from City Attorney, Vesely
stating the condition of the contract and if
proposed changes is in violation of the bid process.
2 . Information from the applicant as to cost on
container choice.
