The Crossville city council has a work
session scheduled for Thursday June 29 at 5:15 PM following the
special called meeting to approve final reading of the 2017-18 fiscal
year budget and other items.
Because the regular day that the
council would meet for its monthly work session is July 4th the
council decided to move the monthly work session a bit earlier in
order to celebrate the holiday and since a special called meeting was
already scheduled council decided to go ahead and hold the work
session.
Crossville City Hall
The work session will discuss items
that may be on the regular July council meeting that will be held
July 11 including the bid on solid waste collection for the city.
With the contract expiring the council voted to rebid the service.
The deadline to bid was June 6.
The only bid received was from Waste
Connections/Cumberland Waste Disposal, the current contractor. The
current waste collection contract costs the city $360,929 per year
and the new contract is estimated to be $239,846 with the city
picking up yard waste and leaves. The bid for twice a year yard
waste/leaf pickup by Cumberland Waste would be $152,683 and the city
is recommending to the council that the city, not the contractor, do
the yard waste/leaf pickup. The city has the purchase of a leaf
vacuum truck in the new fiscal year's budget for the service.
