Local laws to raise the tipping fee by $52 annually per household and the sewage fee by a 25 cents per thousand gallons used in the city of Dunkirk were tabled pending a public hearing at the Common Council meeting held Tuesday.
In a 3-1 vote for both municipal laws, the council elected to hear the public at the next council meeting Jan. 19 at 5:20 p.m. The single vote of opposition belonged to First Ward Councilman Don Williams who has been adamant against the raises of both fees in the city.
