Whether trash collection warrants a more than 100 percent fee increase over a two-year period will be decided by voters in April. City Council members on Monday approved putting the proposition for the city-provided service on the April 5 ballot. WHAT? Are they crazy. City council members voted to give residents a say in their trash collection services? Who ever heard of that?
City Administrator Jim Briggs said the city hasn't had a garbage removal fee increase since 1995. If voters opt to approve the proposition, fees would be bumped up from the current $7 a month per household to more than $14 per month.
The increase would occur in three stages, each on June 1: to $9.40 in 2011; to $11.80 in 2012; and finally to $14.15 in 2013.
The fee for those 62 and older would increase from the current $4.25 per month to $5.70, $7.10 and $8.50, respectively.
Hello, St. Louis County Council Members!!!!
