Council shortens leaf‑collection schedule, approves brush and leaf ordinance
Summary
Ordinance 52‑66 updates Goshen's brush and leaf collection to two concentrated rounds (first Monday in November and first Monday in December), standardizes zones, and passed unanimously on first and second readings at the July 27 meeting.
City staff explained that the proposed ordinance would move leaf collection to two focused rounds (beginning the first Monday in November and again the first Monday in December) to reduce staffing strain and improve efficiency (SEG 875–878). Staff presented maps showing collection zones and described alternate disposal resources for residents.
Councilors discussed resident expectations and costs; after public explanation and questions, the council voted unanimously to pass Ordinance 52‑66 on first reading and then again on second and final reading the same evening (SEG 924–946). "So that passes unanimously on 2nd reading as well," the mayor said following the vote (SEG 945–946).
