Commission denies request to waive $7 solid-waste fee for Spencer property
Summary
Commissioners voted not to remove a $7 solid-waste fee from an electric bill for a property at 71 Bill Branch Road in Spencer, concluding the property is a residence.
Van Buren County commissioners on May 5 voted to deny a request to remove a $7 solid-waste fee from the electric bill of a property at 71 Bill Branch Road in Spencer, concluding the property is a residence and the fee applies.
A motion by Jordan Delong, seconded by Kale Crane, asked the commission not to remove the $7 fee. The clerk reported the case involved a cabin and the property owner wanted the fee removed; commissioners said the fee stands because the property is residential. The commission voted by roll call with all members recorded as voting yes on the motion to keep the fee in place.
The clerk read the motion and roll call during the meeting packet discussion; commissioners did not assign further action or an appeal process during the meeting.
