Council advances first reading to raise annual waste collection fee by $19.08
Summary
On first reading, the council approved moving forward with Ordinance 2026‑12, which sets an annual waste collection rate increase of $19.08 and keeps that rate for three years; the reading passed on a voice vote.
City Attorney Zach Smith read the first reading of Ordinance 2026‑12 on July 9, 2026, and stated that "the annual waste collection rate will increase by $19.08, and the rate will remain the same for the next three years." Council voted by voice to proceed with the first reading; the motion carried with all ayes.
The change affects residential waste collection assessments and will be subject to further readings and administrative implementation before the new rate takes effect. City Treasurer Wayne Harris presented the city’s fund balances earlier in the meeting, which council members used to discuss budget tradeoffs tied to the rate increase.
