Wastewater Treatment Plant Sludge Hauling and Disposal Contracts Approved
The council approved contracts for wastewater treatment plant sludge hauling and disposal for fiscal years 2026-2027. The city has a seven-year agreement with BCA Express for hauling. Contracts were presented for three landfill facilities: Vienna Junction and Ottawa County (owned by Republic), and Arbor Hills and Wayne County (owned by GFL). Rates vary based on distance and disposal fees. Republic is open to lowering disposal fees at Vienna Junction to match Arbor Hills, though this is a verbal agreement. The city aims to reduce long-term landfill costs.

The project aims to meet zoning requirements for decorative fencing along street frontages. The total encumbration, including a 4% contingency, is $135,000. This required moving approximately $30,000 from the capital expenditure fund balance.
