Waste Facilities Monitoring Committee Meeting 11-5-2026 - 6 PM

The City of Franklin, Wisconsin, Waste Facilities Monitoring Committee met November 5, 2026. The committee approved the financial report, with no amounts stated in the transcript. It also voted to approve signing a JSA well-sampling contract for $5,000. JSA offers a 5% discount for lump-sum payment at signing; the committee discussed having the City pay after the work is completed. Staff said they still needed to select 35 wells, with sampling expected in late November or early December, and would issue a contract for the following year after completing the current work. No vendor-selection process or additional contract terms were reported.

The committee heard updates from the consultant and Waste Management, including plans for landfill construction in the 2027 season and well drilling next year; no construction award or budget was presented. Members voted to table further odor-complaint discussion until February while monitoring continues. In closed session, they considered litigation concerning the DNR’s denial of a wetland-disturbance permit for the Metro landfill expansion; the transcript reports no subsequent action on that matter. The committee also discussed waste-site operations and a drainage ditch, with no related spending decisions identified.
