Council approves ordinance updating garbage and trash collection fees
Summary
On second reading the Columbia City Council adopted an ordinance updating fees for residential, church and commercial garbage and trash collection, citing changes at the transfer station as the primary reason for the revision.
The Columbia City Council approved an ordinance on second reading to amend existing rules and set fees for garbage and trash collection within the city.
Council members said the fee adjustments were prompted primarily by changes at the city transfer station. The ordinance was described in the meeting as an amendment to an existing ordinance referenced in the reading (transcript cited the numbers '8 3 0.18' being amended and resulting in '8 3 0.19'). After a motion and a voice vote, the chair announced that the motion carried and the ordinance passed on second reading.
The meeting record did not include a detailed fee table in the verbal reading. No specific dollar amounts were stated in the transcript. The passage was recorded as a routine second-reading adoption; the council did not add amendments during the floor action.
The council next moved on to a zoning matter and later voted to enter executive session for pending litigation. The ordinance will proceed according to the council's normal codification and publishing process.
