Office of the Mayor: An Ordinance Amending Ordinance No. 1 adopted December 10, 2025, Entitled "An Ordinance Amending Chapter 126, Article VI of the Code of the City of Mount Vernon Establishing Updated Sewer Rents and Refuse Sustainability Fees".

This ordinance amends Chapter 126, Article VI of the City of Mount Vernon's Code, specifically addressing updated sewer rents and refuse sustainability fees. An oversight in the previous ordinance (adopted December 10, 2025) led to incorrect fee amounts for the Low-Income Senior Residential Fee and the Non-Profit Refuse Fee (0.51 acre or more).

Key Corrections:

• Low-Income Senior Residential Fee: Corrected from an erroneous $110 to the intended $55 per unit.
• Non-Profit Refuse Fee (0.51 acre or more): Corrected from an erroneous $1200 to the intended $725.

The ordinance also reaffirms other established fees, including:

• Sanitary Sewer Fee: $1.25 per 100 cubic feet (Minimum $18.75)
• Residential Refuse Fee: $225.00 per unit
• Non-Residential Refuse Fee: $2,350.00
• Non-Profit Refuse Fee (0.5 acre or less): $725.00
• Non-Profit Dormitory (Family) Refuse Fee: $110.00
• Non-Profit Dormitory (SRO) Refuse Fee: $55.00

The Mayor's office, in consultation with the Comptroller, will issue refunds or credits to taxpayers who have already paid the incorrect amounts to rectify the discrepancy.
