The City of Covington City Council on Nov. 19 approved Ordinance No. 09102024 to increase solid-waste collection fees by 10% effective Jan. 1, 2025, citing a rate increase from the city’s contractor.
"Marcos Soto made the motion to accept and approve Ordinance No 09102024- Solid Waste Fees with a 10% fee increase effective January 1, 2025 as per rate increase by Frontier Waste Solutions," the minutes record. Councilmember James Davis seconded the motion and the minutes show the motion carried 4–0.
The ordinance text and associated fee schedule are not included in the minutes; the record attributes the change to a contractor rate increase by Frontier Waste Solutions but does not list projected dollar impacts per household. The minutes do not record any public comment or debate tied specifically to the fee increase.
The council took the vote during the New Business portion of the agenda. City staff or the city clerk would need to provide the adopted ordinance language and a billing impact estimate to clarify how the 10% translates into residential or commercial billing changes.
