Council introduces proposed vapor-product tax, camping and shopping-cart ordinances; landfill fee change and annexation also introduced
Summary
The city introduced an ordinance to tax vapor products to meet a state deadline, proposed prohibitions on sleeping/camping on public property and on off-premises possession of shopping carts, and introduced changes to landfill fees and an annexation; a $106,953 landfill-scale purchase was also presented for consideration.
The Jasper City Council received introductions of several ordinances and proposals that will return for future votes, including a city ordinance to tax vapor products, a proposed ban on sleeping and camping on public rights of way, a city rule restricting possession of shopping carts off store premises, a proposed landfill dumping-fee increase for outside-city garbage, and an annexation introduction for property at 480 Moon Road. City staff also presented a request to purchase new landfill scales and provide operator training at a total cost of $106,953 to be paid from the city's garbage fund; that item was introduced and will return for further action.
