Council votes to raise trash fee and delays Woodside plan
In a 5-1 vote with Vaughters opposing, the council approved first reading of a trash collection fee increase from 11.25 to 12.50 per month as part of three planned raises over three years to fund a self supporting program. The budget ordinances face a June 14 second reading and public hearing.
