Council approves $5/month fee to store junk cars at dump
Summary
The McClusky City Council approved a motion to allow residents to park inoperable vehicles at the town dump for $5 per vehicle per month, with enforcement discussed through warnings and potential scrap sale procedures.
Councilors debated how to manage derelict vehicles and large piles of scrap at the town dump, including possible fees and enforcement procedures. One member proposed a $5-per-vehicle monthly fee to permit residents to park junk cars at the dump rather than leave them in town; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
Members discussed safeguards—charging fees on the water bill or issuing warnings after 60–90 days, documenting abandoned vehicles for scrap sale, and a potential distinction between transient and long‑term storage. The council said the fee should be set low to encourage compliance but also discussed mechanisms for removal or sale if fees go unpaid. The motion passed by voice vote with no recorded roll-call tally.
