Draper City Council weighs solid waste contract, Kuwahara Nursery zoning; minutes pending for all July meetings
Solid waste collection contract on the table
The most consequential item before the Draper City Council this month is Resolution #26-35, which would approve a contract with Ace Recycling and Disposal Inc. for residential solid waste and recyclable collection. The item appeared on the July 6 and July 7 City Council agendas. Because meeting minutes have not yet been published, the city's record does not show whether the council voted on the resolution or what the vote tally was. Residents who receive city residential collection services would be affected if the agreement is adopted.
