ON MONDAY THE CITY COUNCIL OF SIOUX CITY WILL CONSIDER THE THIRD READING OF A MEASURE THAT WOULD INCREASE FEES FOR TRASH AND RECYCLING COLLECTIONS IN TOWN.
THERE’S ALSO A POSSIBILITY THE DISCOUNT FOR SENIOR CITIZENS WILL BE ELIMINATED IN THE FUTURE.
THE COUNCIL HAS BEEN HOPING THE IOWA LEGISLATURE WOULD PASS A BILL TO ALLOW FOR A SENIOR DISCOUNT, BUT CITY MANAGER BOB PADMORE SAYS THAT BILL WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED IN DES MOINES:
OC………IN SIOUX CITY. :21
LAST WEEK THE COUNCIL SEPARATED THE SENIOR DISCOUNT ELIMINATION FROM THE RATE INCREASE.
PADMORE SAYS THE CITY ATTORNEY IS CONTINUING TO RESEARCH IF IT’S LEGAL TO CONTINUE TO OFFER IT:
OC…….VIOLATING LAW. :19
THE COUNCIL IS ALSO PUTTING OFF ACTION ON SENDING NOTICE TO END WASTEWATER TREATMENT AGREEMENTS WITH SOUTH SIOUX CITY, SGT. BLUFF AND NORTH SIOUX CITY UNTIL MAY 20TH
