Rubble Site Fees Increasing

• The rubble site fees for 2014 will be increasing. The new fee structure was approved at the city council meeting Monday. One-time loads will increase from $5 to $10, household season pass will increase from $30 to $35, one-time commercial will from from $15 to $20, grass only season pass will increase from $100 to $125 and commercial season pass will increase from $150 to $175. The sales tax will be included in those fees. In the past year, the rubble site lost $19,475.09, mostly due to extra maintenance on the trees which amounted to $14,707.43, and a one-time installation fee of the rubble site gate of $7,177.53. It was also pointed out that the revenue from the sale of clay that is being stored at the rubble site was around $25,000 with all of those funds going into the general fund none for the rubble site fund. No effective date was set on the fees, so they will go into effect 20 days after publication of the minutes.
