Mayor raises idea to add trash billing to water and sewer; council asks questions
Summary
Mayor Angie Lee asked the council to consider bidding a solid-waste franchise that would add trash service to residents’ water and sewer bills; Council member Mike Richard asked whether residents would be forced to take trash service if it were added.
During the mayoral reports on July 14, Mayor Angie Lee asked the council to review recommendations on a food-truck item and proposed that the city bid a solid-waste franchise to consolidate trash billing by adding trash charges to water and sewer bills.
Council member Mike Richard asked whether adding trash to utility billing would make service mandatory for residents who currently do not have trash service; Mayor Lee indicated the city was exploring the idea and that the council should look into the proposal further. No motion or decision was made; the item was presented for future discussion and potential ordinance or franchise actions would require additional council consideration.
