The Clarendon City Council had a busy agenda June 8, covering topics from waste management to city administration to law enforcement and more.
In addition to the Greenbelt Water Authority contract reported on in last week’s Enterprise, the council discussed its contract with Diversified Waste Management. The city privatized its trash service in 2020 and allowed Diversified to take over that city service. The company has recently sold its solid waste services to Waste Connections.
According to the company’s website, Waste Connections is one of the largest full-service providers of solid waste collection and is the third largest solid waste management company in North America with a network of operations in 41 states and 6 provinces.
The council discussed assigning to the owner Diversified’s lease of the building, land, and equipment at the Clarendon Convenience Center. No action was taken on the request, and Waste Connections is to bring a new franchise agreement to the July council meeting.
The council also discussed the position of city administrator and agreed to extend an offer of employment to Brent Spier with a deadline of July7 for him to respond.
Aldermen met in closed session to conduct the annual evaluation of City Secretary Machiel Covey and then reconvened in open session and extended her contract to 2025.
Alderman Larry Jeffers was elected by the council to serve as Mayor Pro-Tem for the next year.
No action was taken on the Donley County Sheriff’s Department’s contract to provide law enforcement coverage for the city.
The council approved a motion to provide city employees with a family pass for the Clarendon Aquatic Center.
