Council approves environmental fee

Residents and other property owners will begin receiving a bill from the town in the form of an “environmental fee” to help offset costs of mandated programs and standards.
On a split 4-3 vote, the council Nov. 20 approved a fee of $3 per month to be billed twice a year.
Councilmembers Tait Elkie, Cassie Hansen, Dennis Brown and Ginny Dickey voted for the measure, while opposing it were Mayor Linda Kavanagh, Vice Mayor Cecil Yates and Councilman Henry Leger.
The extra revenue will cover such costs as street sweeping, household hazardous waste collection and wash maintenance as well as numerous other tasks.
Read more about the fee and stated reasons for it in the Nov. 26 edition of The Times.
