Republic Services is the same company that was handling the services prior to the shut down of the three disposal stations in the county. The service had to be discontinued after county officials reported that previously discussed numbers with Republic had later changed and were much higher when the two sides were ready to sign an agreement back in July. Kutscher says unfortunately, it took this

"So, we did go through the process request for proposal to solicit bids from other vendors. We had pre-bid meetings with six different vendors but only had two vendors submit proposals to the county for operating collection stations. Those two vendors were Republic Services, the previous vendor and Apache (Disposal) but after reviewing those services, the prices and everything -- it was considered by commissioners court that Republic Services was the best vendor to provide the service to operate the collection stations and to also haul off the material," said Kutscher. This contract, however, only resurrects two of the three previous collections sites for the county. Kutscher says it was a sacrifice to only open two but at this point, he says the county is just happy to again be serving its residents. See DISPOSAL, page 2

By Cindy Aguirre-Herrera (Seguin) -- Guadalupe County is applauding not only its partnership but the overall efforts of the state's only city, county owned hospital in the state of Texas. Guadalupe Regional Medical Center officials this week visited with members of the commissioners court announcing new business ventures and it's own financial health. Robert Haynes, chief executive officer for GRMC, says the oper-

ation continues to grow strong. He says this allows the hospital to not only remain competitive but allows it to move forward with its vision. "Right now, we are financially stable but we are in healthcare and healthcare is a changing world. Next year's economics can be different from this year. We've been fortunate over the past five, six, seven years to do really well -- well enough to take our enterprise from what it was a small red brick hospital to a regional facility. We have plans now -- we are expanding in the Clear Springs area with an Urgent Care and

adding a family practice in that direction. We also are planning to expand our medical office buildings to about 32,000 square foot of medical office building that we are going to put it on an undisclosed location at this time. But all in all, we are about 800 employees, a $110 million business with $52 million of that going back to salaries (of) people that live in this community. Our number one purpose though is provide healthcare and we do that with a culture of caring and we do that in a manner that that is our primary focus," said Haynes. See GRMC, page 3
