okay
uh today's date is august 24th it is 8
12 p.m i'm calling the bexley board of
control meeting to order
members present uh myself ben kessler
lorianne fibel here
and
auditor bill harvey present
um today we have before us
uh
one moment
we have
an actual agenda or just
oh that's fine that's fine
so let me pull up the formal agendas
that were we're following that
but i believe it's uh we're looking at a
uh waste
collection
bid
as part of a consortium
we advertised our community
waste collection transportation delivery
for disposal for residential solid waste
um
and
we received one
bidder
we and the other consortium communities
received one bidder
and that was rumpke
and
i am trying to pull up that information
see if andy is around for this
no
okay so
that's the real question because what's
the price right exactly
maybe you're about to ask for that
residential that's recycling
this is
um
what are you looking for
oh here's andy he's trying to get on
oh good
call andy base for mobile on speaker
hey how's it going
so you are a speaker on the border
control sorry it's the same link as
council but you're fine on you're fine
here
we shut that meeting but started over
again
um
the question that we're trying to figure
out from the paperwork in front of us is
what the new rates are and and i wanted
to confirm that first off that rumpke
was the only bidder
on this
okay and then what are the rates in this
i don't see them anywhere
and how do they compare to current
[Music]
there's a there's a thirty five dollar
india's bill there's a thirty 35 price
for the
two-year
looks like it's 35 dollars for all of
them but that is a good form for the
processing
that's the processing of the recyclables
is that the whole thing that's the whole
thing okay so it's 35 a year
per household
and how much was it no that can't be
right that's not right
yeah it was
from what uh the last consortium
and i don't have the contract in front
of me it was it was i believe a 3.19
increase
per month or per year
per quarter
quarter or a month
so 10 is a quarter and it's currently 75
right isn't it roughly
10 a quarter so
it's going up
40 dollars 40 bucks a year
that seems like a lot wait so is that
but that's andy that's more than a 10
increase off of our current is that
correct
yeah it was like a 16.9
okay
now
that makes sense because our our 75
includes renew like organic so it's like
an added on top of so rumpke's not 75
right now
oh gosh
no it's not it's it must have been muted
for a second sorry
that's uh that that lingers around even
after you unmute yourself we're good
but thank you
um andy uh
do you have anywhere that you can look
up the current rate versus the proposed
rate actual rates
so
while we're looking this up it's good to
know um
it's one of the challenges of only
having one bidder
you know so 16 increase
who else would did something like this
though well what what republican some
others but nobody else anywhere but it's
over three
for the past several years
past several contracts
typically we only get one better one
bitter might bit for certain areas
well
and a couple things have happened we we
extended that three-year contract right
andy so we ended up a three-year
contract became a four or five years
which one
five so this is 16 over five years
as in the old rate is five years old
yeah okay so we're coming up to here and
it's so that's keep that in mind is this
is this
the same price for three years andy yes
okay okay
so there's that it's been five years
since we've done this the the second
thing is that um
the
psychological oh yeah so they've had a
lot of a harder time sourcing
recyclables ever since china stopped
accepting recyclable materials so
they've had an increase in cost with
recycling that we knew we're gonna hit
andy they still have all the benefits
they were giving us like can they give a
senior sentence discount some of those
things so for those people they won't
get that
the only thing that's changed
the last contract we had
is i did get it up to where you if they
missed where we could charge more more
frequently
and the price increase that that was
really the only thing that's changed
from the last contract so they'll still
do the alley the uh
walk-up stuff and all that
yeah yeah
at the option of the residence
do we
when do we need does this need to be
approved tonight
with more information right in front of
us
i actually i think i suggested to you i
would
council seems to get involved in this
and they're going to hear about it so it
might be yeah
i remember having this conversation as a
council member at some point
well they have to
what
you have to approve the contract oh i
thought that's what we're doing
well we're we're approving the ward of
the bid
is that the same i don't know
yeah i think we should double check that
this is a contract
it and it seems like yesterday 10
increases yeah so here's let's do this
let's have another border control
meeting after september 14th meeting and
at september 14th meeting let's present
on what rumpke
provided us okay
and maybe
andy let's try to get that presentation
presentation to council like a week in
advance so that they
know about it at a time then would you
um
do a presentation
no no
i think i think we just talk about you
know what it means to be a consortium
why we only got one bid
why the prices have gone up
um explain that whole five year thing
and we bill and i and andy the three of
us can look at
where the rate so there's the rumpke
rate
and then there's what we charge and last
time
we have we built up our refuse fund so
much that
we didn't raise it or second we didn't
raise it we didn't want to not raise it
because we were concerned about like
being
really hitting people with the high
energy we decided yeah we did what we do
and we might not need to again that's
the point so let's let's take a look at
that again let's do that
the other thing we're going to look at
is you said do we sell those composting
fees and stuff in here
uh in not in here but in the refuse rate
that we give to people
is that an individual thing does
everybody pay the same amount
everybody's managed everybody's same
enough
right
so you're paying
you're paying for a service that you
have access to but you might not be
choosing to exactly have it
which means i need to start doing it
yeah lori ann actually i don't i don't
read it because i have a better
alternative but
you're just jumping in the creek
that's what i was doing but now my
daughter has a place and she takes all
that but that's not really the issue
um
and i don't want to get in this
conversation
okay
motion to adjourn wait wait wait wait
