What: bulk waste pick-up limits, a proposed bulk collection fee and handling of eviction debris.
Where it stands: On September 8 the committee discussed a draft ordinance amending section 74-32 for a $20 per appointment bulk waste fee, a draft resolution on coordination between the city marshal and public works, and a 24-hour abandonment rule from a 2025 ordinance. No vote was recorded.
Next: Possible introduction of the ordinance and resolution; billing method and dumpster sites undecided.
