Minutes of: Special Board Meeting 5:30 pm – Conover Center Vol 7, Page 130 A Special Board Meeting was called for more thorough discussion, evaluation and determination of what service contract carrier would be contracted for a three year period for Conover’s solid waste and recycling. Present were: Steven Rhode, George Champeny, Karl Jennrich, Rich Martinson, Jim Hedberg, Alan from Eagle Waste, Jennifer and Chuck from Veolia. Comparing just the items as were laid out in the bid request was the criteria that was to be considered. The board wanted to compare on equal terms, the charges, fuel surcharges etc. A comparison was made to the collection data of actual costs and quantities from the past year with an estimation for the 12th month. The costs were very very close. Veolia questioned whether the town would ever be considering the compactor. It was stated according to Rhode, that when the contract went into effect in 1988, it was limited to a period of years and now it appears that the county will not give permission for any power going into this leased land. After all discussion and comparisons were made, a motion was made by Jennrich to accept the proposal of Eagle Waste and Recycling. Motion was immediately seconded by Champeny. All ayes and was carried. Rhode stated how difficult it was to make the decision and that Veolia and Waste Management had been very cooperative gave good service to the Town over the years. They stated that they would be back at the table in three years when the contract is again due. Motion was made by Champeny for adjournment at 610 p.m. Motion was seconded by Jennrich and was carried. James M. Hedberg Clerk
