Assembly modernizes municipal code; Cabin Creek road‑use fees clarified

Petersburg Borough Assembly · August 18, 2026

Summary

Ordinance 2026‑18 updating multiple municipal code chapters, consolidating utility extension rules and updating Cabin Creek road‑use fees passed unanimously on third reading; members noted the fees were never implemented and apply to commercial logging/resource extraction per ton/mile.

Ordinance 2026‑18, which updates chapters of the former City of Petersburg code to reflect borough formation, remove outdated provisions, consolidate utility extension requirements and revise Cabin Creek road‑use fees, passed unanimously on third reading. Public Works Director Aaron explained the Cabin Creek fees are commercial charges (per tonnage and per mile) for logging and resource extraction between Cabin Creek Dam and Reservoir Road.

Member Newman asked what Cabin Creek road‑use fees entail; Aaron said they are per‑ton and per‑mile charges for commercial use and noted the fee language appears in the ordinance though he did not read the exact rates aloud. Members also observed the provision "is there" but historically has not been implemented; the ordinance modernizes the code language to provide that tool going forward.
