Republic agrees to pay grinding charges

Republic Services will pay for the City of Edna's grinding charges from Jackson County, Mike Reeves, director of municipal services for the trash hauling service announced Tuesday. According to City Manager Don Doering, Reeves came into his office late Tuesday afternoon and said the company would pay the $23,000 bill for grinding limbs and brush for 2016 and the grinding bill for 2017 as well.
The City Council was scheduled to meet in a called executive session Tuesday night to discuss and decide what to do about Republic's contract. That meeting was cancelled after Reeves' announcement.
