Council approves modest adjustments to solid waste fee schedule tied to contractor request
Summary
Council adopted an ordinance on second reading updating solid waste fees to mirror a 2.5% requested increase by the city's contracted sanitation provider; residential curbside rates were not changed.
The Commerce City Council on Sept. 16 adopted an ordinance amending the city's solid-waste fee schedule to reflect a roughly 2.5% increase requested by the contracted sanitation provider, a change staff said mostly affects dumpster and large-collection fees; routine residential curbside rates remain unchanged.
Why it matters: Solid-waste fees fund contracted sanitation services. Staff said the adjustment is intended to align the city's ordinance with a forthcoming contract amendment and avoid a mismatch between contractor charges and the city's fee schedule.
Details: Assistant City Manager Miss Campbell said the proposed fee changes do not affect the residential per-household pickup rate. The city will update the fee schedule consistent with the expected sanitation contract modification and bring contract documents to council at a later date.
The ordinance passed on second reading without substantive changes.
