Snellville schedules first reading of solid-waste ordinance shifting user-fee funding
Summary
Council placed a first reading of a revised solid-waste ordinance on the agenda that would fund services with a user fee rather than the general fund; the ordinance will return for action on June 9 with a public hearing for written and oral comments.
Snellville council members placed a first reading of a revised solid-waste ordinance on the agenda that would establish a user fee to pay for solid-waste services instead of funding them from the general fund.
City staff said the current code language references village funding and includes a military-related clause; the draft ordinance would strike that language and allow council to set fees by future resolution. The item was scheduled for a public hearing and a waiver to the second reading for action on June 9.
No formal vote occurred during the May 27 work session; staff said residents will have an opportunity to submit written or oral comment during the public hearing process. Staff did not provide a draft fee amount at the work session and finance details were not specified.
