Roanoke City Council Approves Price Increases for Court Fees and Commercial Garbage…
What happened
The Roanoke City Council approved a budget that included a $15,000 surplus. The council subsequently approved price increases for several city services. These increases include a $10 per case hike to court fees across the board, meaning non-traffic cases are now $68 and traffic cases are $38.50. Additionally, commercial garbage collection rates are rising due to the increased cost of diesel fuel.
Why it matters
The rate hikes apply to services provided by the city of Roanoke. The increase in commercial dumpster collection rates is not quantified because it is based on the monthly average of diesel fuel costs.
