2026.09.15 Town Council Work Session

The Town of Apex held a work session on September 15, 2026, focusing primarily on advisory board appointments and the transition to containerized yard waste collection. Council members discussed delays in filling expired advisory board positions due to the mayor's withholding of recommendations, leading to a motion to continue the appointment process to a future date. The session also covered the challenges of grass clipping disposal, including a recently approved five-year disposal agreement with a vendor unable to accept grass due to processing capacity issues. The town is moving forward with a phased approach to containerized yard waste collection, seeking council's verbal approval to proceed with the capital plan and communications strategy. Discussions included fee structures for additional carts, HOA compliance, and potential future food waste collection services. The meeting emphasized the importance of community education and legislative engagement to support these initiatives.
