The Gardena City Council will vote on whether to increase the residential trash rate and will set a fee for tobacco retailer permits at its Tuesday meeting.
The meeting will be at 7:30 p.m. at City Hall, 1700 W. 162 nd Street.
The council approved a tobacco retailer permit that is set to take effect on Aug. 21.
It requires businesses that sell tobacco products to get annual city permits to pay for increased police enforcement of businesses selling cigarettes to minors. The council will consider a resolution to set the permit fee at $167 and renewal fee at $120.
The council will also consider an appeal from the city's residential trash hauler, Phoenix Waste and Recycling Services, to increase its rate above the contracted amount.
The trash hauler wants the city to set the fee at $21.05 per month per unit from the current rate of $15.39. The council denied the hauler's request for a rate increase in June.
Last year, the council suspended a $35,000 payment from the trash company to help curb losses the hauler said it has incurred.
