The Walnut City Council is set to meet 5-p.m. Thursday (Dec. 6), during a regular session. On their agenda is a review of bids for Solid Waste Disposal, and a motion to execute an agreement with a contractor for the residential hauling of solid waste. The Council will also review the City’s Health Insurance package, and discuss the Walnut Community Center, including: adding liquor liability to the City Insurance plan; use of facility and gymnasiums; fire extinguisher and service elevator inspections.

In other business, the Walnut City Council will discuss the Property Maintenance Code, and take action on the third and final reading of an Ordinance adopting the 2015 edition of the International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC). City officials say the IPMC is designed to ensure rental properties are safe, have smoke alarms, and that the electrical and heating systems are safe. There is no set inspection for regular housing, unless the home is new construction or having extensive remodeling.

The Council will also discuss and possibly take action on the 1^st reading of an amended Ordinance pertaining to Water Rates for Service, followed by a possible waiving of the 2^nd and 3^rd readings. They will also consider the possible adoption of a Resolution Transferring Funds from the City’s Water Fund into The Short-Lived Asset Reserve Fund.
