No road referendum for Highland August 2, 2017, 1:49 pmThe fee, which was supposed to go into effect July 1, was put on hold when the residents filed a referendum petition on May 22 for the fee to be placed on the November ballot. The residents had until July 7 to collect a minimum of 1,210 valid signatures. The group ultimately decided not to pursue a referendum. So the $18.50/month per residence fee will go into effect Aug. 1 and will show up on residents' August utility bills. The fee will be in effect until 2028. City officials say the state of roads in the city is critical and without the funding, many roads will fail. According to City Manager Nathan Crane, 91 percent of residents responding to a survey at the open houses said they would be willing to support some kind of increase—40 percent favored a tax increase while 54 percent supported a road fee.
