Vote on a Request to Approve the Contract with Central Carolina Holdings LLC for Scrap Tire Hauling and Disposal and Authorize the County Manager to Sign and Execute the Contract.
Abstract
Action Requested: Vote on a request to approve the contract with Central Carolina Holdings LLC for scrap tire hauling and disposal and authorize the County Manager to sign and execute the contract.
