Altoona council denies sewer and snow‑removal fee waiver requests
Summary
Councilmembers voted to deny a homeowner's $697.24 sewer-fee forgiveness request (4-1) and denied a $125 snow-removal refund for a former renter (5-0) during the May 5 meeting.
The Altoona City Council denied two resident requests for fee forgiveness on May 5.
City Administrator Randy Pierce introduced an email from the homeowner at 964 Robin Circle asking for forgiveness of $697.24 for the sewer portion of a utility bill. Councilmember Duer moved to deny that request; the council's roll-call vote was recorded as 4 in favor of denial and 1 opposed.
A separate request from a former renter at 1604 Bennett's Way sought a $125 refund for a snow-removal fee. Councilmember Duer moved to deny that refund request as well; the motion passed on a roll-call vote recorded as unanimous (5-0).
The council did not direct staff to refund either amount and did not authorize any billing changes during the meeting. Residents seeking reconsideration must contact city staff for appeal or additional review.
