request
ADMINISTRATIVE COMMENTS:
The City Council approved an exclusive franchise agreement for solid waste and recycling collection and disposal with Republic Services for Legacy Lewisville that became effective January 1, 2021. Following the annexation of the Castle Hills area, the city assumed an exclusive franchise agreement for residential solid waste and recycling collection and disposal with Community Waste Disposal (CWD). City Council directed staff to transition solid waste and recycling collection for the Castle Hills area to the Republic Services exclusive franchise agreement making the service consistent throughout Lewisville. The CWD contract is set to expire on January 31, 2025, at which point Republic will assume all solid waste and recycling collection and disposal as outlined in the current exclusive franchise contract. This ordinance will remove the solid waste and recycling fees specific to the previously annexed area of Lewisville served by CWD. Staff has negotiated a transition plan with CWD and Republic that considers challenges for both customers and providers in the Castle Hills area.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council approve the ordinance as set forth in the caption above.
