Topics getting the most attention in Fremont, California public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Landfill service agreement with Waste Management of Nebraska
The city's 33-year-old transfer station deal with Waste Connections ends June 30. A short-term Waste Management contract actually drops the tipping rate from $51 to $38 a ton, and an RFP — possibly including a city-built transfer station — is coming in the next couple of months.
Climate Disaster Insurance Program
Fremont is reportedly adopting city-scale climate disaster insurance, starting with flood risk. That could speed up recovery after a flood—but it also changes who foots the bill, so it’s worth watching how premiums and payouts affect residents.
