Board member questions vendor experience and contract risks for proposed waste project

Board members pressed for details about the vendor behind a proposed waste‑processing project and whether the company has delivered comparable projects elsewhere before the board considers a multi‑year contract. A board participant asked directly: "Is this company done other projects like this in other countries?" and noted concern that a long contract could leave the county exposed if the vendor failed to perform.

The participant outlined the perceived risk in blunt terms: "I'm gonna ask what if it's not successful with with the contract with all the other counties ... We'd have a lot of trash." The Chair acknowledged the question and the need to understand contract length and termination provisions. Board members requested clearer details on vendor experience and contractual safeguards before advancing any long‑term agreement.
