The Grove Municipal Services Authority on Aug. 5 voted to move forward on options to address missed trash collections, including consideration of a refund policy. The trustees approved the motion to proceed by a 3-0 vote; the minutes do not contain policy text, refund amounts, eligibility criteria, or implementation timelines.
The item was presented as "options addressing missed trash collections including the adoption of a refund policy." Chairman Andy Stewart opened discussion; Trustee Ivan Devitt moved to move forward and Trustee Berwin Kock seconded. The recorded vote was Stewart — yes, Kock — yes, Devitt — yes, and the motion carried 3-0.
No staff reports, policy language, or public comments on the proposed refund policy are recorded in the meeting minutes. The meeting record does not specify whether the policy would be administrative (staff-level) or require a future vote by the trustees, nor does it list funding or budget implications. Those details would need to be provided in a subsequent staff report or ordinance.
