Council advances routine assessments for solid‑waste and street‑lighting charges
Summary
Director Pei described ordinances to assess solid‑waste fees (residential) and a citywide street‑lighting assessment; council asked for the percentage of actual cost these assessments cover and voted unanimously to set both for further readings.
Director Pei presented two routine assessment ordinances: Ordinance 26‑31 (solid waste fee special assessment for tax year 2026) and Ordinance 26‑32 (street lighting assessment for tax year 2026). Pei said the solid‑waste assessment is levied on residential units and the street‑lighting assessment covers all parcels citywide and is capped so the total assessment does not exceed $300,000.
Councilwoman Mann asked what percentage of the actual service cost the $156-per‑household (approx. $13/month) assessment represents; Pei did not have the breakdown in the meeting and agreed to provide it to council via follow up. Both ordinances were placed on second and subsequent third readings by unanimous votes.
