The Brownfield City Council approved a new policy for commercial customers with immediate effect. City Manager Eldon Jobe said the ordinance had been discussed in a prior work session and remains unchanged. The report notes the council meeting occurred on Thursday morning.
Jobe explains a 32 tier commercial charge system tied to dumpster counts and pickup frequency. The plan aims revenue neutrality with educational campaigns, while residential rates stay largely unchanged. A new policy adds extra charges for extra pickups and weekend calls, and a six month enforcement period precedes tighter rules.
A reader warns about dangers lurking in ads in newspapers and magazines and the appeal of $19.95 offers. The note rejects many work at home schemes that require sending money upfront and cites Advanced Free Loans as a dubious example.
The article cautions on scams in print and online offering easy money and guaranteed loans for upfront fees. It explains advance-fee loans, dangerous 900 and 800 numbers, and urges never to share card or bank details. It ends by inviting readers to a Christmas Open House next Wednesday from 1 to 4.
