SUMMARY: In a town meeting at Glory Empowerment in Ward Six led by Council President Aaron Banks, the purpose was to hear what services the people want provided so he can bring that before the city council. A mixed response was given when attendees were asked if they wanted carts provided in a proposed contract, with concerns raised about the cost and provider. The proposed contract would involve the city paying $891,000 a month for six years to Richards Disposal for trash disposal services. Some believe that other vendors did not bid due to a court case involving Richards. The contract will be discussed further at the next board meeting.
