From the meeting
At the September 29, 2026 TEUC meeting, DPW presented a proposed strategy to address a $165,000 budget shortfall in recycling and solid waste. The plan would use an ordinance change to require residential properties to pay the solid waste generation tax, transition to municipal collection, and potentially add self-haulers and tiered pricing. Staff said the short-term approach could capture about 900 additional residential units and increase receipts by $130,000, with implementation targeted for January 1 for FY27 relief.
The committee unanimously approved a motion directing staff to draft ordinance language and seek the City Attorney's opinion. Decision state: recommended.
