Trash fee increase for trash truck
Can a Community Service District that charges a fee for Trash pick-up, increase the trash
pick-up fee to buy a new trash truck for five years without voter approval?
The fee is currently $ 15.00 per month.
It would go up to between $ 43 and $ 61 per month for five years and then return to the
basic fee.

Re: Trash fee increase for trash truck
My first reaction is that the fee increase would be exempt from the voter approval requirements of Prop. 218, but I'm not sure. I have researched a similar question for a client and found the fee increase wasn't subject to vote, but it could be a fact-specific issue. My second reaction is that the increase is very high percentage-wise, from a very low fee to a very high fee. It must be a tiny district with very few rate payers for the purchase of one truck to cause such a swing.
