At the November 1, 2021 City Council meeting, City Council approved a 5% increase on the "in-lieu" tax assessed on the City's Refuse revenue; increasing it from 15% to 20%. The 5% increase will generate approximately $430,000 per year in General Fund dollars, which City Council has already approved to be allocated to fund the expansion to the City's Clean City Program.
The in-lieu tax increase has been incorporated into the residential rates, charges and fees on refuse services that were previously approved. A strikeout and a clean copy of the amendment to Yakima Municipal Code 4.16.140 has been enclosed for City Council review. |
