Council postpones vote on residential refuse and yard-waste rate increase to August
Summary
The Rock Island City Council voted to postpone consideration of a proposed rate increase for residential refuse and yard-waste service until the first meeting in August to allow additional staff recommendations.
The Rock Island City Council voted May 19 to postpone consideration of a proposed rate increase for residential refuse and yard-waste service until the council’s first meeting in August, after a motion to postpone was moved and seconded.
During the Item 9B presentation from Public Works, a motion was made “to postpone until the first meeting in August, to consider for additional consideration and recommendations provided by staff.” The motion was seconded and adopted on a roll-call vote. The roll call shows Parker voting “No” while other listed members voted aye; the clerk announced “Motion carries.”
The transcript does not include the proposed new rates, the staff recommendation text, or a fiscal analysis; council members asked for additional information and the motion will bring the item back for reconsideration at the August meeting. No specific August meeting date or staff deliverables were recorded in the public transcript.
