Title
Consider an ordinance amending Chapter 32, Section 32-33, Code of Ordinances (2018 Edition), by increasing the residential charge for the collection of refuse and recycling services. (Second Reading)
Body
With the approval of a resolution for a Residential Services Rate increase for Central Texas Refuse (CTR), the City is required to amend the ordinance setting the rate charged to customers in the City. The change in the rate includes a 98 cent increase to CTR and a 10 cent increase to the City’s Support Cost for a total increase of $1.08 per month. The Support Cost is for the City to cover all expenses associated with the solid waste program, including operating the Recycling Center on Deepwood Drive as well as providing funds for street maintenance in the City. The 10 cent increase will also help the City recoup the fuel recovery payment that the City will make to CTR, if approved by Council. First reading was approved at the October 13, 2022 Council meeting.
