***Statement of Response ***

The City Council applauds the Mayor for issuing a new Request for Proposal for the garbage
contract. We have been working proactively on this complex issue for weeks. Previously, the
only option before the City Council was to extend the contract of his recommendation. The
contract that the mayor is referring to was issued as a solution during the state of emergency
created when garbage service stopped. The city is no longer under this state of emergency and
that contract expires March 31, 2024. After further discussion and requests for clarity from the
Attorney General and the State Auditor, the City Council voted unanimously to request that the
mayor issue a new RFP. This process has been dragging on far too long. We are here to do our
job and be good stewards of the taxpayers’ money.
