SPECIAL MEETING - HUTCHINSON CITY COUNCIL
MONDAY, AUGUST 17, 1992
The meeting was called to order at 12:00 noon by Mayor Ackland.
The following were present: Mayor Paul L. Ackland, Councilmen Craig
Lenz, John Mlinar, Marlin Torgerson and Don Erickson. Also
present: City Administrator Gary D. Plotz and Finance Director
Kenneth B. Merrill.
Administrator Plotz reported on the four residential refuse haul-
ing bids which were opened this morning. He stated Aagard West was
the apparent low bidder, and a three year contract would be awarded
to be effective November 1, 1992. The hauler would purchase and
own the refuse containers. A survey will be mailed to all resi-
dential property owners/tenants to determine the container size
desired at each household to assist the hauler in ordering the
three sizes of carts. The City will need to negotiate with Witte
Sanitation, or another hauler, for refuse service during the one-
month interim period from October 1 to November 1, 1992.
Following discussion, Councilman Erickson moved to accept the low
bid of Aagard West for residential refuse hauling service for a
three year period beginning November 1, 1992. Motion seconded by
Councilman Mlinar and unanimously carried.
Councilman Torgerson moved to approve the Zarn containers for the
three required sizes, contingent that if the 30 -gallon container
could not be modified for automation, the Council would approve the
Pro Kart 30 -gallon size. Motion seconded by Councilman Mlinar and
unanimously carried.
The meeting adjourned at 12:40 P.M.
