The Spickard Board of Aldermen approved a rate increase for trash pickup and gave the oath of offices to officials during its meeting.
City Clerk Stephanie Stotts said the board approved a 54-cent per month raise for each customer of the city’s trash pickup, which is provided by Viola. The increase would set the rate at $13.90 per month, effective with the next billing cycle.
Terry Allen of Veolia, who was at the meeting, also announced that when a change in trash pickup days was needed, the new pickup day would be on Friday. An announcement would be made when the change is necessary.
Oath of offices were administered to aldermen Harry Brown and Don Stephens as well as Ms. Stotts, who recently was hired to serve as the city clerk.
It was decided that the city would sell old brass water meters it currently has in storage.
The next meeting was set for Thursday, June 5. This would be a change in the regular meeting date.
