A Jacksonville councilman is suggesting a phased-in approach to increasing monthly trash pickup fees to cover the city's mounting debt. Options include raising the fee to $20 this year, with further increases in subsequent years, or a gradual rise to $31.25 by 2027. Currently, residents pay $12.65, significantly below the actual cost, resulting in the city borrowing funds to cover the difference. The debt is projected to reach $95 million by September and over $500 million by 2031.
