REQUESTED MOTION:
To adopt a Resolution setting the Solid Waste Collection and Disposal Residential Rate for Fiscal Year 2025/2026 at $239.30 per unit representing a 6% increase on the hauling portion of the rate.
SUMMARY:
A public hearing is being held regarding the use of the non-ad valorem collection method of taxation and setting the annual residential rate per unit for solid waste collection and disposal services.
