Grant Mackay Commercial Solid Waste Franchise

Applies if: You advise haulers, commercial customers, or competitors affected by the franchise.

Why now: Ordinance 2026-701 grants Grant Mackay Company, Inc. a franchise under Chapter 39 'providing for related terms and conditions; and making certain findings' and passed second reading with all voting aye on August 19, 2026.

What to do: Obtain the adopted ordinance text and ask the City Secretary whether the terms and conditions and findings contain term length, fees, insurance, or termination provisions. Without the text, no one can tell what obligations the franchise creates for the company or the city.

Act before: After the next material record update

Why now: The ordinance passed first reading August 12, 2026 and second reading August 19, 2026 (Item 36) with all voting aye and no nays, and the record contains no fee, term, or competing-hauler information.

What to do: Request the council item backup and any staff or Solid Waste Department recommendation for the Grant Mackay franchise, and ask what fees the city receives and how many other haulers hold franchises. The public record shows only a vote, not the rationale.

Act before: After the requested records are produced
