The Liberty City Council met in regular session last night.

The main item on the agenda was Garbage service in the city.  Last month, the Council voted to keep the garbage as a service of the city. With both garbage trucks experiencing malfuntions recently, there has been interruptions in garbage pick-up. Last week, a special called meeting was held to re-evaluate that decision. Last night at City Hall, there was a small group of concerned citizens on hand, as well as representatives from Rumpke Sanitation. Mayor Steven Brown...

A motion was made by Councilman Andy Lawhorn to award the garbage service bid to Rumke Sanitation, that motion was 2nd'd by Councilman Brian Beeler. The motion carried by a vote of 5-1 with Councilman Larry Bowmer voting against.

Rumpke Sanitation will take over garbage collection in the city starting the first of February, 2020.

The Council also considered a Property Maintenance Code for the City of Liberty. A second reading of that Code will likely be on the agenda for the next meeting.
