Lebanon’s City Council did not move ahead with exploring a city-code change for utility bills at vacant homes at its Oct. 14, 2026, meeting, according to Lebanon Local. The outlet reported that Finance Director Brandon Neish raised whether the city should look into changing the code. Its account identifies landlords and seasonal residents as groups the issue could affect.
That distinction matters for customers: Lebanon Local did not identify draft code language or a proposed rate reduction, so this was not a rejection of a defined discount. The report establishes no new billing terms or customer savings.
The City of Lebanon calendar lists the regular meeting, scheduled from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Oct. 14, 2026, at Lebanon Public Library, 55 Academy St. Lebanon Local published its account Oct. 20, six days after the meeting. The outlet did not report a follow-up step or reconsideration date.
