Discussion and possible action on recycling contract: RightAway and Waste Management submitted sealed bids. David Clements made a motion to accept the bid from Waste Management. Gary Yakesh seconded the motion. The motion carried 3-0. This decision was based on the factors that Waste Management was less expensive in their bid with no separation of plastic, glass and cardboard and the Town of Howard had accepted Waste Management’s bid. Therefore, if the Town of Cooks Valley did not accept Waste Management’s bid the township would lose their recycling grant due to not being involved in a cooperative action with another governmental entity.
Discussion and possible action on mowing bid: David Clements made a motion to accept the bid of $3200.00 from DK Huse Trucking. Gary Yakesh seconded the motion. The motion carried 3-0.
