Midway City Sanitary District adopts Ordinance No. 77 to pass through landfill tipping-fee increases
Summary
The board adopted Ordinance No. 77 to amend residential solid-waste service charges to reflect landfill tipping-fee adjustments; the motion passed 4-0-1 with President C. Nguyen abstaining. The General Manager was authorized to publish the ordinance summary under Health and Safety Code Section 6490.
The Midway City Sanitary District board on June 2 adopted Ordinance No. 77, authorizing adjustments to residential solid-waste service charges to reflect and pass through increases in landfill tipping fees. Director Tyler Diep moved the ordinance's adoption and Director Andrew Nguyen seconded; the motion passed on a 4-0-1 vote with President Chi Charlie Nguyen abstaining.
General Manager Robert Housley told the board that "one written protest had been received, which did not constitute a majority protest," a representative finding required under the district's noticing process. The board also authorized the General Manager to publish or post the required Summary of Ordinance No. 77 in accordance with Health and Safety Code Section 6490.
The ordinance amends Ordinance No. 73 to reflect the new pass-through mechanism for tipping fees paid by the District to dispose of solid waste at landfills. No other amendments or effective-date language were specified in the meeting minutes. The board recorded the roll-call vote as AYES: Contreras, A. Nguyen, Diep, M. Nguyen; ABSTAIN: C. Nguyen.
The adoption was the primary substantive fiscal item on the agenda and follows a public hearing held May 19, 2026 in which the district received the single written protest referenced by staff. The General Manager will proceed with the statutory posting and summary distribution steps required by the Health and Safety Code.
