Ivins approves 2.5% pass‑through of Washington County solid waste rate increase
Summary
After staff said the County Solid Waste District raised rates 2.5% tied to contract costs, the Ivins City Council approved a resolution to pass that increase through to residents; staff estimated a roughly $28,000 impact on the city's costs.
The council approved a resolution to pass through a 2.5% increase in the Washington County Solid Waste District charge, a change the district adopted in response to higher contract costs from its hauler.
Finance staff (speaker 12) said the district’s action was driven by Republic Services raising its rates and estimated the pass‑through would increase the city’s costs by roughly $28,000 annually. Councilmembers asked about opt‑out rules for recycling and how the increase would affect dumpsters at multi‑unit complexes; staff said some opt‑out periods and HOA responsibilities vary under the contract.
Councilmember Pennington moved to approve Resolution 2026‑03R (transcribed in the minutes as '20 20 six‑03R') to pass the increase through to customers; the council voted by roll call and the motion carried unanimously.
