Sewer Rates, Proposed Power Plant to be Discussed: June 26 Council Agenda

How do you know what City Council will address this week? Check in here.

Below is a summary of what is due to occur at this week's Council meeting.

The council will continue discussion and move to adopt or reject an ordinance that would amend section 17.12.030 of the Municipal Code, increasing the single-family residential sewer billing cap from 22 units to 28 units bi-monthly.

The proposed resolution was first heard at the June 12 council meeting, but after hearing oral testimony from many residents who did not fully understand the resolution, it was tabled until Tuesday's meeting. The resolution is meant to prevent lower-usage residents from continuing to have to subsidize costs for higher-usage residents.

After hearing both sides, the council could take action and either support or approve the project, by resolution or letter.
