Sep 1, 2026

Council conditionally approved Resolution 12-2026 to adjust solid-waste fees per a 4.9% contract increase from the hauler, but asked staff to verify line-item math, clarify a $1 Logan City communication charge, and return with corrected figures if necessary.

River Heights voted to conditionally adopt a resolution increasing solid-waste charges to reflect a 4.9% contract increase proposed by the hauler and arranged through a consortium.

The council requested verification of the figures before the change goes into effect Oct. 1.
