Council updates consolidated fee schedule, increases select payment and waste fees

The South Salt Lake City Council approved multiple fee updates Oct. 29 to align city fees with vendor charges and budget decisions.

Staff asked the council to update the consolidated fee schedule to match current vendor charges for insufficient or closed account fees and stop-payment charges processed through the city’s payment provider. Staff also requested updates to residential solid-waste disposal charges (from $14 to $14.29) and the additional-container fee, reflect an increase in the new-can delivery fee from $25 to $50 to cover delivery costs, change the late payment fee to 1.5 percent to match other sections of the fee schedule, and update a glass-recycling fee from $8 to $8.25.

Clarissa Williams moved the ordinance updating the consolidated fee schedule (general fees); Leanne seconded. The council approved the ordinance by roll call. For the household waste and recycling fee adjustments, Clarissa moved and Leanne seconded; the council approved those changes as well. Staff said some fee changes were already voted as part of the adopted budget and are updates to documentation.
