This afternoon the Gwinnett Board of Commissioners approved resolution 2009-0124. The resolution was introduced by Commissioner Kenerly and, when read, called for Gwinnett County to dissolve the contract with Gwinnett Clean and Beautiful Services. When commissioner Kenerly spoke he referred to just Gwinnett Clean and Beautiful. I don’t know if this represents any kind of legal issue or not but thought I would make everyone aware of it. You can see the video of the entire Board Meeting, the reading and vote on resolution 2009-0124 (near the bottom of the menu) and comments from the audience (also near the bottom of the menu). A lot of employees from the approved vendors spoke as well as 2 really cool guys.
It was good to finally meet Don S of Trash Gwinnett and Richard Appleby, Chairman, of Constitutional Committee of Georgia who were both in attendance along with many employees of Waste Pro and Advanced Disposal LLC.
In closing remarks Chairman Beaudreau asked that if anyone was interested in serving on a “Blue Ribbon Commission” regarding the Solid Waste Disposal in Gwinnett County they should call his office at 770-822-7003. He did ask that residents volunteer to address and help solve the problem, not just volunteer to complain. Personally I have called and volunteered and would welcome the Gwinnett County readers of this blog to join in. Together we can accomplish so much.

Hi Mack and thanks for the heads up on my site. I did happen to catch it through Gwinnett TV and saw you there as well. I’m glad you and Don were able to attend. I would like to see what this blue ribbon committee is really going to be like. I’m waiting to here back from them.
