ETNA GREEN - Etna Green will raise charges for trash pickup from $7 to $8.12.
The council voted on raising prices after Key Waste increased their charges to the town. The last increase in price was made in 1996.Eileen Hall made a motion to donate $250 to the Bourbon Library for its summer reading program. The council approved the motion, and also discussed the possibility of donating money for books at a later date.
The council voted to refund money to Devon Burkholder after he was overcharged for water usage. He will receive a refunded water bill.
A suggestion was brought to the council concerning the need to establish budgets for each of the town's utilities. The budgets would assist any citizen or council member who may want to look at the town's spending.
No vote was taken, but Council President Todd Slabaugh mentioned his interest in establishing such budgets. If enacted, the town could then provide accurate information on where money was spent and what fund it was taken from.
