Council s ire at city waste officials rises No confidence vote over trash fails
DAVE GONG | The Journal Gazette
A brief effort to declare a lack of confidence in the city s solid waste department came to an end Tuesday after accusations that Mayor Tom Henry s administration has been mismanaging the contract with the company hired to collect residential garbage.
The resolution sponsored by Fort Wayne City Councilman Russ Jehl, R-2nd, would have declared the council had no confidence in the solid waste department and its manager, Matt Gratz. However, the resolution failed in a 7-2 vote after an unsuccessful attempt to delay the discussion until the new year.
