City fails to eliminate redundant notice of utility shut-off
Verona is making changes to its sewer billing system in an effort to streamline the process and prevent residents from taking advantage of payment plans.
The Verona City Council approved an amendment to its sewer billing policy that that allows residents to set up a payment arrangement with the city if they get behind on their bills, no more than twice every 12 months. If a resident fails to pay off a sewer bill as arranged, the resident will not be eligible to set up a future payment arrangement for 12 months. Previously, residents could request a payment arrangement at any time.

Verona use tax fails, Aurora school bond issue passes
Tuesdays election resolved numerous bi-county races, some by the slightest of margins, in a year with many unopposed races.
County clerks tallied one of the lowest voter turnouts for Aprils vote in recent years. The Lawrence County count ran 9.13 percent with a little over 2,116 votes. Barry County did even more poorly, mustering only 6.7 percent turnout or 1,483 votes. A lack of contests at the municipal level contributed to apathy among voters.

Council says community will be safer with new rules
City leaders in Verona have taken steps to protect citizens from vicious dogs by passing an ordinance that gives law enforcement and animal control officers some teeth when dealing with animal attacks.
Under the new ordinance approved Monday, any dog, which unprovoked, that has caused severe or fatal injury to a person may be classified as dangerous. Also, any dog with a known propensity, tendency or disposition to attack unprovoked, may be deemed dangerous.
This is the second time the council has considered a dangerous dog ordinance. A similar ordinance was voted down in August 2020.
