Sanitation department presents ordinance update; staff says rates largely unchanged
Summary
Sanitation staff presented proposed updates to the city sanitation ordinance, removing obsolete language and adjusting deposit fees for roll-off containers and a small number of commercial rates; staff recommended approval for first reading and noted legal counsel took part in redrafting.
San Juan’s Sanitation Department presented proposed amendments to the municipal sanitation ordinance intended to modernize language and align regulations with current commercial practices.
Staff said most customer rates remained unchanged; the only rate adjustments were limited to deposit fees for roll-off containers used at construction sites and a small number of large commercial-account rates. The presentation said legal counsel removed obsolete or unnecessary language and staff recommended first-reading approval to keep municipal regulations current and effective.
Staff invited commissioners and the public to review the redrafted ordinance and contact the sanitation office with questions; a first-reading motion was placed on the agenda.
Next steps: ordinance returns for subsequent reading(s) and formal adoption if approved by the commission.
