SUMMARY: The Jackson City Council ratified a garbage collection contract with Richard's Disposal for the next six years, with the amendment to eliminate garbage carts in order to save money. The council voted 4 to 3 in favor of the contract, which will cost the city $851 thousand per month. The new change is expected to save the city $40 thousand a month and a total of 2.8 million over the six-year term. However, some council members were unaware of sunk costs that couldn't be removed, leading to disagreements over the contract. More reactions from council members will be discussed at 5:00.
