Pull commercial solid waste franchise ordinance text and terms
Why now: The ordinance was listed for third and final reading on 2026-10-21 with no outcome recorded, after passing first reading October 7 and second reading October 14, and the title references Chapter 39 plus unspecified terms and findings.
What to do: Obtain the full enrolled text of the Texan Waste Services franchise ordinance and check the 'related terms and conditions' and 'certain findings' it contains. Those provisions, not the title, define the grantee's obligations and any compliance triggers for clients.
Act before: After the next material record update
Ask why Texan Waste Services received a commercial waste franchise
Why now: The ordinance appeared at three consecutive Council meetings (first reading October 7, second reading October 14, third and final reading listed October 21 with no outcome recorded), yet the record names no terms, fees, or speakers.
What to do: Request the application, staff review, and fee or term details behind the Texan Waste Services franchise, and ask how many other commercial haulers hold franchises. The public record shows the ordinance moving through three readings but gives no terms, fees, or rationale.
Act before: After the requested records are produced
