The St Francisville City Council met in regular session Wednesday and voted to increase by 25 cents the city trash collection rate effective with the July bills. They also after much discussion approve a 3% increase in wholesale water rates. It was the first such increase by the city since 2013 and will be used to offset increased maintenence costs. The move is contingent upon agreement with the South Lawrence Water Corporation. Mayor T.J. Moyes reported that July 13th is the tenative date for the city bridge inspection to begin and that city chip and seal work on streets is expected to get underway on July 6th. The city wide cleanup is Monday June 15th. The council approved the use of the “CourtMoney” system which offers city water customers the option of paying their monthly water bills online. There is a fee charged to the customer for use of the system. Police chief Billy Darnell indicated that his department will be increasing enforcement of ATV stickers inside the city limits. ATV stickers are available for purchase during regular business hours.
