In addition, the board hired Don McDonald to serve as maintenance man, beginning immediately. George Griffin met with the council concerning its rules and regulations.
In other business, the council was notified that Veolia Trash has increased its rates for Laredo, with the new rate, $13.90 per month, to be reflected on the October billing. The council approved an ordinance that now allows the city to place a lien on property when the city cleans up debris on the right-of-way and the property owner does not pay. Previously, the amount was placed on the city water bill.
The next regular meeting is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Oct. 12.
