Rogers v. City of Redlands (G063580)
This case raises this issue of whether public agencies can include in their solid waste collection fees an amount intended to repair road damage caused by the heavy waste removal trucks in providing services. CSAC’s brief emphasizes the public policy and fiscal issues related to road maintenance and repair, and argues that these fees are specifically authorized by statute and do not run afoul of the constitutional restrictions on taxes and fees. The brief was prepared by Lutfi Kharuf, Dean Atyia and Chloe Graham at Best Best & Krieger in San Diego.
