r.) Approval of County Recycling Collection Reimbursement choices according to the Service
Agreements – A letter was received from the Counties Recycling Dept. indicating that they need to
enforce the Scope of Service Agreement which originated in 1992. The agreement article states that the
County requires any Municipality that contracts directly with a third-party entity to be reimbursed at the
Municipality’s lowest third-party quote. If a Municipality chooses to extend contracts without going
through a formal bidding process, it is in violation of the Scope of Service Agreement. The town needs
to choose one of the recycling collection/reimbursement options: Perform a formal bid process, Join the
County’s current recycling collection program, or continue status quo, even though the County will only
reimburse at the Inland Service collection rate.
MOTION: Rettler/Neubert to stay as is with our current contract with Harter. All said aye. Motion
carried. The town extended the contract with Harter’s starting the beginning of this year 2013. Harter’s
recycling rate was lower than the counties rate with Inland. Clerk will email the board’s response to
Chris with the Outagamie County Recycling Department.
On agenda: County requesting recycling fuel charge reimbursements be set yearly in January.
