The City Council on Sept. 8 approved Ordinance 2025-10, altering the city’s residential yard waste and bulk waste collection service by removing the charge and deleting a provision that set limits on collections.

Council members discussed the item after a work session in which staff and members agreed to remove the cost and delete paragraph c, described in the meeting as “the limit” on the service. The council voted to suspend the rules to consider the ordinance at the meeting and then voted in favor of approving the ordinance “minus paragraph c n e,” as stated on the record.

The change was presented as an amendment to the ordinance text: council members removed the fee and deleted paragraph c (which the meeting identified as the limit provision) and deleted paragraph e. The meeting record does not include the ordinance’s full text or the specific language of the deleted paragraphs; it records only that paragraph c (the limit) and paragraph e were deleted and that the fee language was removed.

Council discussion preceding the vote focused on the two deletions and on making the item eligible to be heard the same night by first suspending the rules. The meeting record shows a voice vote in which multiple members answered “yes.” The minutes do not record a roll-call tally or identify who moved and seconded the final approval in the transcript excerpt provided.

No implementation timeline, administrative direction to staff, or details about how the city will bill or administer the revised service were specified in the transcript.
