(Okoboji)– The Okoboji city council Tuesday adjusted fees to dispose of electronic items.
City Administrator Dennis Daly says it’s the result of increased fees being charged to the city to dispose of the items at a center at the county’s green waste site east of Milford.
The price for computer monitors will go to 20-dollars; televisions up to 19 inches will cost 20-dollars; 20 to 40 inch televisions will cost 25-dollars; and those 41 inches and above will cost 35-dollars.
In other business, the council set January 30th at 2:00 p.m. as the date and time to receive bids for street and drainage projects. The bids will be opened and acted on at a special meeting at 5:30 p.m. the same day.
The council approved the second reading of a noise ordinance giving police authority to initiate complaints; and they approved the appointments of Jim Delperdang and Jim Robertson to a subcommittee into the study of a possible joint water treatment facility between Spirit Lake and Central Water.
the council took no action Tuesday on a letter from Central Water concerning the restricting of lawn watering. Central Water is requesting the cities of Arnolds Park and Okoboji adopt an ordinance that would allow Central Water to impose restrictions in the summer during peak demand. Several council members say they would like to try a system of public education first.
