Duncan council approves $4 garbage-rate increase, ends trip requirement to Vista Recycling
Summary
At its March 13 meeting, the Duncan Common Council unanimously approved a $4 increase to the town’s garbage bill and removed the requirement that residents travel to Vista Recycling to receive service; the council said a formal resolution will be placed on the April agenda.
The Duncan Common Council voted unanimously on March 13 to increase the town garbage rate by $4 and to eliminate the requirement that residents travel to Vista Recycling to obtain service. Mayor Blake moved the change and Council Member Wearne seconded; the motion carried without dissent.
The council’s action modifies the town’s billing for solid‑waste service, raising monthly charges by $4 per account and clarifying that service will be delivered through normal town billing rather than requiring residents to take materials to the Vista Recycling facility. Mayor Blake made the motion on the consent of the council; no public opposition was recorded in the meeting minutes.
Councilors also directed staff to place a resolution formalizing the rate change on the agenda for the next meeting. The change was recorded as an item for the April meeting packet, where the council expects to adopt the formal resolution underpinning the rate and billing change.
The vote was recorded as unanimous among the four council members in attendance: Mayor Blake, Vice Mayor Smith, Council Member Wearne and Council Member Show. The meeting adjourned at 5:15 p.m.
