Title
Resolution to Affirm Certain Previously Adopted Solid Waste Charges and Fees in accordance with Hampton City Code § 32.2-48, Titled “Solid Waste Rate Determination; Fee Rates,” and to Adopt an Ordinance Amending the Hampton City Code by Repealing Chapter 32.1, Titled “Solid Waste,” in Its Entirety, and Reserving Chapter 32.1
Purpose
PURPOSE/BACKGROUND:
In 2023, Hampton City Code Chapter 32.1 Solid Waste was amended, restated and recodified in its entirety as Chapter 32.2 Solid Waste. In May 2024, as part of the Fiscal Year 2025 annual budget process, City Council adopted an ordinance increasing certain solid waste charges and fees, effective July 1, 2024. That ordinance was codified at Hampton City Code § 32.1-41, Titled “Solid Waste Rate Determination”. Section 32.1-41 is the only provision of Hampton City Code Chapter 32.1 that remains in effect at this time, as all other provisions were consolidated into Chapter 32.2. The current proposed resolution is a ministerial action to consolidate Section 32.1-41 and Section 32.2-48 by (i) affirming the current schedule of solid waste fees and charges in accordance with Section 32.2-48; and (ii) repealing Hampton City Code Chapter 32.1 in its entirety, including Section 32.1-41. The fee schedule prescribed and affirmed in the proposed resolution is the same as was previously adopted in Section 32.1-41. No fees or charges will change as a result of this resolution. Once the fee schedule is affirmed by this resolution, Hampton City Code Chapter 32.1 may be repealed in its entirety, as it will no longer be needed.
