I move that the Mayor and Council authorize an expenditure not to exceed $55,000 to Big Belly Solar LLC to retrofit existing solar trash and recycling compacting cans to touchless operation in response to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Summary Background:
Over the past several years the City has rolled out and expanded the use of Big Belly solar compacting trash and recycling cans. In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, it was determined that the cans can be retrofitted with a touchless system of operation. City staff evaluated the option and determined that it fell within the City goal of reducing high touch surfaces to help prevent the spread of Covid-19 in the City.
