flag City council rejected outsourcing landfill operations, keeping control public despite potential savings.

flag City council rejected a proposal to outsource landfill operations, despite potential savings of $39 million to $122 million over 25 years. flag The 7-4 vote opposed a plan from Green for Life Environmental (GFL) to manage operations, compliance, and build a $56 million composting facility under a long-term agreement, while the city retained land ownership. flag Council members cited concerns over job security, environmental protection, accountability, and the need for public input. flag A motion to delay the decision for 90 days to allow for community consultation and impact analysis also failed. flag The majority chose to maintain public control over the critical service.
