Bloomfield council approves first reading of ordinance to set waste-management rates
Summary
The Bloomfield City Council opened and closed a public hearing with no testimony and approved the ordinance’s first reading to set waste-management rates; the measure will return for a future second reading.
The Bloomfield City Council voted to approve the first reading of an ordinance that would set rates for the city’s waste-management service after opening and closing a public hearing with no public testimony.
Council members moved and seconded to open the hearing and, finding no comments at city hall, closed the hearing before taking up the ordinance. The council then voted to approve the ordinance on first reading; roll-call confirmations recorded members saying "yes" during the sequence.
The vote advances the ordinance to the next procedural step, a second reading where details and effective dates will be set. The council provided no public testimony on the rate change during this meeting and did not state the specific rate amounts on the record.
A staff member who spoke earlier provided unrelated operational updates, saying Raycom replaced radios in city vehicles at no cost and describing upcoming community interactions with local schools.
The council did not state an effective date for the proposed rate change; that information is expected to appear in the materials for the second reading.
