Council adopts Ordinance No. 5513 updating fee schedule, including polycart and electric rates
Summary
Council approved Ordinance No. 5513 to amend the City Fee Schedule, passing on a portion of a MASWU polycart rate increase and incorporating electric rates set by a prior ordinance through 2026; the vote was 8-0.
The Lindsborg City Council voted unanimously Dec. 2 to adopt Ordinance No. 5513, which amends the municipal fee schedule. Staff recommended passing roughly 2.8 percent of a MASWU-announced 5 percent rate increase to customers; the motion also incorporated electric rates previously established by Ordinance No. 5332 through 2026. The motion to approve Ordinance No. 5513 was moved by Councilmember Rebecca Van Der Wege, seconded by Councilmember Kirsten Bruce, and passed 8-0 by roll call vote.
Staff materials included a redlined fee schedule showing updated polycart monthly charges for dwelling units and commercial customers (example: 1 cart = $18.75 monthly) and noted that the Refuse Fund remained strong year-to-date for FY2024. The minutes record no public comment on the fee changes.
