Mount Shasta City Council Approves Waste Management Contract and Parking District Pass

The City Council of Mount Shasta convened on July 14, 2025, to address several key agenda items, including contract approvals, parking regulations, and transportation funding.

The meeting commenced with a motion to approve changes to the waste management contract, extending its term until 2029. The council unanimously voted in favor, signaling continued support for waste management services in the city.

Next, Chief Gibson presented the first reading of the parking district pass ordinance. The council had previously requested modifications, including a change in the issue date to align with the fiscal year, starting July 1. The updated ordinance eliminates prorating language and does not include fee structures, which will instead be detailed in a separate fee schedule. The council discussed the absence of limits on the number of passes businesses can obtain for their employees, emphasizing that proof of employment is required. The ordinance passed unanimously after a brief public comment period.

The council then moved to a resolution adopting a list of transportation projects to be funded under SB1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act. Ken Kellogg explained that the city expects to receive approximately $85,000 for road maintenance and rehabilitation. The majority of the funds will be allocated for chip sealing, with a potential overlay project for Mount Shasta Boulevard included as a hopeful addition. The resolution was also passed unanimously.

The meeting concluded with a brief discussion on upcoming agenda items, including a review of the master fee schedule and a public hearing regarding the relocation of a business license. No additional topics were raised for future consideration.

Overall, the meeting reflected the council's commitment to maintaining city services and infrastructure while addressing community needs through effective governance.
