The SD City Council voted to place a measure on the November ballot that would allow the4 city to charge residents for trash services. Scott Sherman, says “Why not fix that injustice and collect their trash instead of charging yet another fee from people.”
SAN DIEGO – San Diego City Councilmembers voted 7-2 in favor of reforming the People’s Ordinance.
The ordinance, as written, prohibits the City of San Diego from recovering costs from single-family residences for trash collection services it provides, but residents in apartments and condominiums must pay a private company for trash collection. There are certain exceptions, for example, single-family homes in gated neighborhoods have to pay for trash too.
Single-family homeowners say trash collection is part of the expensive property tax bills they pay each year, but Democrats on City Council say it’s a two-tier system. Democrats on City Council says the property taxes go into the “general fund,” not a designated tax or fee for trash services.Property tax revenue goes into the general fund to use as city wishes. It’s not that not enough is collected, it’s about where the elected officials decide to spend that money.
Scott Sherman, former councilmember, says “Why not fix that injustice and collect their trash instead of charging yet another fee from people when times are tough already.”
