Votes at a glance: Avondale Estates approves sanitation and stormwater fees; millage set to 9.3 mills
Summary
Alongside adopting a 9.3-mill tax rate, Avondale Estates’ board approved a $397 residential sanitation fee (about $9/year increase) and maintained a $180-per-unit stormwater fee for 2026; both fee resolutions passed unanimously on June 30, 2026.
At the June 30, 2026 meeting, after adopting the 2026 millage ordinance, the Avondale Estates Board of Mayor and Commissioners approved two fee resolutions that will affect household services in 2026.
Sanitation: Staff said the city’s contract with its sanitation provider adjusts annually using the March-over-March CPI; because inflation has risen, the sanitation rate will increase by roughly $9 per household per year. The board adopted a resolution setting the 2026 residential sanitation fee at $397 by unanimous voice vote.
Stormwater: Staff recommended maintaining the stormwater service fee at $180 per unit. The board approved the resolution to keep the fee at $180 per unit by unanimous voice vote.
Both votes were adopted without recorded opposition; commissioners noted that the sanitation change reflects contract CPI adjustments and that the stormwater fee was unchanged from current practice. The board deferred agenda item eight to the July 8 meeting and announced an executive session following the public portion.
