Resident questions garbage ordinance; council refers complaint and LeMay contract to Public Safety Committee
Summary
A citizen raised questions about Morton's garbage ordinance and the contract with LeMay; the council referred the matter to the Public Safety Committee for further review but set no meeting date.
At the April 22 Morton City Council meeting, resident John McKenzie raised questions about the city garbage ordinance and the city’s contract with LeMay garbage service. Councilors deferred detailed discussion and concluded the Public Safety Committee will meet to review both the ordinance and the contract.
Councilors did not set a date or time for the committee meeting. The transcript records that the council agreed referral to the Public Safety Committee was the appropriate next step; no motions, amendments, or vote tallies were provided in the record. During the public participation period, attendees continued to press for clarification of the ordinance’s interpretation.
The referral leaves open key questions the committee will need to address, including whether the existing ordinance requires amendment and what, if any, changes to the LeMay contract are warranted. The council did not provide a timeline for staff reports or public hearings related to the committee review.
