The Village of Volo Board of Trustees discussed adjustments to water and garbage and recycling rates for fiscal year 2026–27 and reached consensus to increase those rates by 3 percent, the board recorded on April 7.
Minutes state that the Village Board discussed the proposed adjustments and that consensus was reached to raise water and garbage/recycling rates by 3%. Mayor Stephen Henley directed staff to prepare an ordinance amending the annual fee schedule so the change can be considered in conjunction with adoption of the FY 26/27 budget; no ordinance text or effective date was provided in the minutes.
The minutes do not record a separate roll-call vote or individual trustee statements on the rate adjustment; the action was recorded as a board consensus and a directive to staff. There was no public comment on the item during the meeting. The rate change will be formalized only if an ordinance amending the fee schedule is brought forward and adopted as part of the budget process.
