At their Monday night meeting, the Vandalia City Council agreed to a $1.25 surcharge on water bills to help with paying for recycling programs. $1.00 of the fee will go to FAYCO to help with the continuation of the general recycling program, while 25 cents will go to Fayette County Soil and Water Conservation District to help pay for electronic recycling. Both measures passed 5 to 3, with Ken Hubler, Russ Stunkel, Mike Hobler, B. John Clark and Andy Lester voting yes on both measures and Dorothy Crawford, Steve Barker and Joel Rebbe voting now on both.
We’ll have more on this story, and on Monday night’s Vandalia City Council meeting, coming up on Wednesday during NewsCenter.
