Morrow City holds first readings on municipal court fine schedule and commercial sanitation fee increase
Summary
At the May 12 work session City Manager Landry Merkison presented Ordinance 2026-008 (an updated municipal court fine schedule) as a first reading and Ordinance 2026-009 (a 10% sanitation fee increase) as a first reading, clarifying the sanitation increase applies only to commercial rates.
City Manager Landry Merkison presented two municipal code items for first readings at the May 12, 2026, Morrow City work session.
Ordinance No. 2026-008 would adopt an updated fine schedule for the City of Morrow Municipal Court; Mr. Merkison said the fine schedule had been reviewed and adjusted per prior Council direction and that an updated copy was distributed to council members for review before the second reading scheduled for May 26, 2026. The transcript records the first reading but does not include ordinance text, specific fine amounts, or a motion to adopt.
Ordinance No. 2026-009 proposes a 10% increase in sanitation fees. Mr. Merkison clarified the increase would apply only to commercial sanitation rates and would not affect residential sanitation fees. Councilman Wayne Collins noted he had not initially seen the email containing the comparison materials but confirmed he had located them within the agenda packet; no further questions were recorded.
No votes or final determinations on either ordinance are recorded in the transcript. The first-reading status was documented for both ordinances on the meeting agenda.
