Council adopts temporary speed reduction on US‑75 and approves sanitation rate changes and mobile vendor update
Summary
Howe’s council adopted Ordinance 846 to temporarily reduce speeds on portions of US‑75 during construction, approved Ordinance 847 to pass a Frontier Waste Solutions rate increase to customers effective June 1, 2026, and updated vendor rules with Ordinance 848 to reflect state law changes affecting mobile food trucks.
The council adopted three ordinances after staff presentations and a public comment period (no public speakers were recorded on the items). Ordinance 846 implements a temporary speed reduction on sections of US‑75 during construction upon TxDOT recommendation; Chair (speaker 2) explained staff’s recommendation and council adopted the ordinance.
On sanitation services, staff outlined Ordinance 847 to amend chapter 6 and pass along a rate increase from Frontier Waste Solutions; the ordinance sets the new rates to take effect June 1, 2026. As staff noted, the city absorbed previous increases but will pass this increase to customers beginning next month. The council also approved Ordinance 848 to update the city’s mobile food vendor application and registration provisions to reflect changes required by House Bill 2844.
Each ordinance passed on council motions with no recorded opposition; staff said no public comment was received on the three items during the meeting.
