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). During the September 18, 2023, City Council Work Session, staff presented options for solid waste and recycling collection for the Castle Hills area. Subsequently, staff was directed 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. Staff has negotiated a transition plan with CWD and Republic that considers challenges for both customers and providers in the Castle Hills area. The City Charter requires that amendments to a franchise ordinance be read twice, 30 days apart, and go into effect no earlier than 30 days after the final reading. The first reading was approved on January 22, 2024. If approved on the second reading, the amendment will be effective on April 3, 2024.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council approve the ordinance as set forth in the caption above.
