Summary
At its recent meeting the Farr West City Council adopted Ordinance 25-09 creating a transportation utility fee, approved an annual CPI-based increase for EconoWaste service, set a public hearing to consider vacating a utility easement at 2941 W. 3500 N., and approved routine minutes and bills.
Farr West City Council members voted unanimously on several administrative and policy items at their meeting, including adoption of a transportation utility fee and approval of a CPI-based increase for city garbage service.
The council adopted Ordinance No. 25-09, establishing a transportation utility fee and creating a transportation utility fund. Councilmembers recorded aye votes in a roll call that included Tim, Katie, Boyd, David and Bob. The ordinance document and the new fund will be posted with city records; the council noted that appeals of fee reductions will follow the city’s normal appeal process.
The council also approved an annual contract increase requested by EconoWaste tied to the consumer price index. Members discussed differing CPI sources (some cited a 3.5% figure, others 3.2%) and the small effect on a household bill, described in the meeting as roughly $0.17 per month. The council approved the increase by voice vote.
Procedural items approved unanimously included minutes dated Sept. 18, 2025, and payment of bills dated Sept. 30, 2025.
