Waste service lawsuit reviewed by council

While the dominant topic of this week’s Bowie City Council meeting was the Old Bowie Lake dam, the council did address several other topics including an executive session on a lawsuit and a review of the hotel-motel tax annual report.
During a brief 30-minute executive session the council had a consultation with its attorney regarding the lawsuit Midwest Waste Services LLC vs. the City of Bowie. No action was taken when the council returned to open session.
This suit was filed Aug. 10, 2019 and alleges the City of Bowie lacks statutory authority to require individuals outside of its corporate city limits to use its waste collection services.

The council also discussed a request to use the community center and hear from a councilor during public comments.

Food truck permit rule draws conflict

Published

on

Bowie City Councilors heard complaints about the recently approved food truck ordinance during last week’s meeting and were updated on damage from recent flash flooding.
Mayor Gaylynn Burris also presented a proclamation for Emergency Medical Services Week, as members of the local EMS team were presented with the proclamation.
In his city manager’s report, Bert Cunningham said there were numerous problems with excessive rainfall during the last few weeks, with the most significant at Rock and Pillar where the rusted washed out culverts have been deteriorating for several years. Portions of Rock have collapsed near that intersection closing part of the street.
Another less traveled street had a sinkhole which the city crews have repaired, and two crews have been out trying to fill potholes and make street repairs as they can.
Cunningham told the council they have to figure out a way to pay for the new culverts on Rock and Pillar, and he has been meeting with a pair of engineering companies to get some preliminary estimates that are close to $1,000,000. He also has been talking with the city’s financial advisor to discuss options for financing repairs.
