Council holds first reading of solid-waste fee ordinance proposing $18.35 monthly charge
Summary
On first reading the council reviewed an ordinance to amend the Angola Municipal Code chapter on solid waste, proposing a residential charge of $18.35 per month; $18.28 is the amount paid to the hauler, Republic.
The Angola City Council conducted the first reading of an ordinance to amend chapter 8.05 of the Angola Municipal Code governing solid-waste fees.
During discussion the council and staff clarified fee mechanics: $18.28 is the amount the city pays the hauler (Republic), and $18.35 is the proposed monthly charge to residents referenced in the ordinance’s subsection B. The ordinance text and header contain clerical date/number errors that council members noted; council members asked staff to correct the ordinance numbering and the year before further readings.
A motion to approve the ordinance for first reading was made and seconded. The transcript records the first-reading step but does not record a final passage on second reading or adoption—only that the item was presented for first reading.
Because this was recorded as a first reading, additional hearings or readings are required before any fee change would take effect. The transcript does not specify an effective date or the ordinance number finalized after corrections.
