North Judson Town Marshal Kelly Fisher notified Town Council members last week that she’s received some questions about bins remaining in the road after garbage pick-up has taken place.
Council President John Rowe noted that he’s also had some people inquire about whether the Town has a policy about that. Marshal Fisher asked if there was any kind of ordinance on the books with a recommended procedure.
Councilwoman Wendy Hoppe noted that there isn’t an ordinance but it has been addressed by the council in the past. She said that residents are asked to have the bins taken away from the curb within 24 hours after pick-up.
Rather than developing an ordinance on the matter, Hoppe recommended including a reminder on the new utility bills since they’re designed to allow for such notifications.
On the old card-style bills, officials were limited to 30 characters and if a customer had some sort of notice about their service, they wouldn’t receive the information that was issued by the town.
With the new letter-style bills, as long as the message is included with the file that is sent in advance, they can include as much additional information as they want and all customers will be able to view it.
Clerk-Treasurer Andrew Rowe said he would coordinate with Billing Clerk Jennifer Vanek about putting a reminder about the garbage bins on the bills.
