Council to meet Monday morning on garbage contract; likely to seek extension to allow time for another bid

(Revised upon notice from city at 11:25 a.m. Friday.) The Midway City Council will hold a special meeting at 10 a.m. Monday, June 25 at City Hall to discuss the city's garbage-collection contract. The meeting notice from the city says no action may be taken., but Mayor Grayson Vandegrift said in an email that he has notified Rumpke Waste & Recycling "of our intention to ask for an extension of 120 days so that we can seek another bid," because the sense of the City Council is that "such a contract should not be agreed to without receiving a second bidder." All council meetings are open to the public.
