# Hudson Public Works August 11, 2025

The Hudson Public Works meeting on August 11, 2025, discussed the city’s Waste Management contract following resident complaints about missed pickups and customer-service delays. The committee did not vote to terminate or replace the contract; members favored continuing it while the vendor improves communication and service follow-up, with the issue to remain under review over the next three months. A second-place bidder was estimated to cost about $248.19 more per household over the remaining contract period. Waste Management agreed to consider clearer resident guidance and communication options, and to verify details of the yard-waste service. Members also noted that the contract requires notice and a 30-day opportunity to cure noncompliance before termination.

The committee discussed safety and maintenance of a walking path between Carmichael Road and Grand View Drive, including responsibility for the path, possible repairs, and potential lighting; no funding or project approval was made, though CIP funding and grants were raised as possible avenues. It approved the City Hall courtyard layout, which will be installed and maintained by city staff with funding from an anonymous donor. Staff reported that the 2026 mill-overlay project and restoration work were complete, and that street-reclaim work was underway. Planning for the 2027 Lakefront Park project is progressing, with plans expected to come to the committee before bidding in early 2027.
