Derby City Council considers new trash contract, traffic signal design, and pay adjustments
The Derby City Council met on June 23 to consider a series of proposals that could affect city services, employee pay, and a local intersection. Minutes from the meeting have not yet been published, so the outcomes of the votes are not yet known.
Trash and recycling contract
The council had on its agenda a proposal to finalize a new residential trash and recycling services contract with Waste Connections Inc., set to begin January 1, 2027. If approved, the agreement would replace the city’s current waste hauler. The move could mean changes to collection schedules, rates, or services for Derby residents, though specific terms of the contract were not detailed in the agenda.
Traffic signal design at Madison and Oak Forest
Also up for a vote was authorizing up to $35,000 for a contract with GFT Infrastructure Inc. to design a traffic signal at the intersection of Madison Avenue and Oak Forest Lane. The project, if approved, would move forward with engineering work aimed at improving traffic flow or safety at that location.
Pay scale adjustments for city employees
The council was set to adopt a proposed pay matrix and salary adjustments covering both general and public safety employees. The new pay scales would affect most city workers, though the exact percentage or dollar amount of any raises was not listed on the agenda.
Other business
Additional agenda items included:
- Approving a School Resource Officer agreement between the city and the school district.
- Ratifying an interim Municipal Court judge contract.
- Passing an ordinance to levy a $450 special assessment on a residential property for nuisance abatement.
The agenda also featured a presentation recognizing local veterans and a proclamation designating July as Parks and Recreation Month.
