Loris council approves sanitation fee ordinance on first reading
Summary
Council took up Ordinance 07-26 first because the sanitation fee ties into the FY 2026-27 budget; Councilman Carroll D. Padgett Jr. moved and Councilwoman Joan S. Gause seconded the measure, which passed on first reading.
The Loris City Council approved Ordinance 07-26 on first reading, which amends the city's sanitation and disposal fee structure.
Mayor Michael E. Suggs said he would move Ordinance 07-26 ahead of the budget item because the new sanitation fee structure is calculated into the FY 2026-27 budget and "he felt it appropriate to consider first reading before second reading of the budget ordinance." Clerk Melinda T. Price read Ordinance 07-26 by title only. Councilman Carroll D. Padgett Jr. moved to accept the ordinance on first reading; Councilwoman Joan S. Gause seconded. "Mayor Suggs and all members present voted favorably. Motion Passed," the minutes record.
The change was handled administratively at first reading and passed unanimously among members present; no public comment or press attendance was recorded. Further details of the specific fee changes were not included in the minutes and are listed as "not specified" in the city record excerpt.
