Council approves Waste Connections contract increase, directs city to use reserves to shield residents
Summary
Council approved a contract-allowed rate increase from Waste Connections that raises service costs about $1.80 per month per resident; council directed the city manager to absorb the increase from the solid waste fund reserves so residents will not see an immediate rate increase.
After returning from executive session, council summarized that Waste Connections (contract operator) submitted a permissible contract request to raise solid-waste service prices. The increase is roughly $1.80 per month per resident, staff reported. Council voted to approve the requested contract increase and directed the city manager to fund the added cost from the city's solid waste reserves so residents would not face an immediate monthly rate increase.
The motion carried unanimously. City staff were instructed to implement the contract adjustment and record the reserve drawdown in the solid waste fund; no changes to resident billing were directed at this time.
