The Concordia Board of Aldermen selected a bid for the city trash service contract, after meeting with all the bidders over its last several meetings.

The board announced its intention to enter into a contract with RTS during its meeting on May 4. Aldermen spent both of its meetings in April reviewing presentations from the three bidders for the contract. The other bidders were Republic Services and Constable Sanitation. City Administrator Dale Klussman explained why the board selected the bid from RTS.

 

The board plans to formally approve the contract during its next meeting on Monday, May 18. The contract would go into effect on October 1 and run for three years.

In other news, aldermen discussed a proposed ordinance reviewed by Planning and Zoning on April 23 that would govern cottage and tiny home structures. Klussman says the ordinance would set requirements for the zoning and development of tiny home properties.

 

A public hearing considering this change to the zoning code will be held at 6 p.m. Thursday, July 23rd.

The board also approved the appointment of Nathan St. Clair to fill a vacancy on the Tourism Board.
