Development News from the latest meeting
Rio Dell City Council Meeting of 2026-07-07
Published: Jul 7, 2026
Annual Solid Waste Franchise Agreement Adjustment Approved Amidst Market Fluctuations
The council approved the annual adjustment to the solid waste franchise agreement with Recology, which includes a rate increase of approximately 4% overall, resulting in an increase of about $1.90 for a 32-gallon customer. The rate adjustment was primarily driven by increased recycling processing costs due to lower market values for commodities and a reduction in CRV material in the food bin. The current contract with Recology expires at the end of December, and staff are working on a new agreement.
Police Department Receives $160,000 Grant for Impaired Driving Enforcement and Education
The council adopted Resolution 1676-2026 to accept a $160,000 grant from the California Highway Patrol (CHP) Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program. This funding will support the police department's efforts in enforcing impaired driving laws through overtime for officers, specialized training (Drug Evaluation and Classification Program, DUI/drug courses), and equipment, including a TruNarc device for substance testing. The grant also funds public education initiatives. The council approved the acceptance of the grant, which was awarded with a tight deadline for acceptance.
