Water, Wastewater, and Storm Drain Utility Rates

The meeting began with a discussion on Resolution 2410, aimed at repealing Resolution 2323 and establishing new rates for water, wastewater, and storm drains. Finance Director Tim Collier presented the adjusted scenario, which keeps the base rates the same and adjusts the excess volume rate. The adjustments were made following the Council's request during the May 14th meeting.

Councilor Gary Hayes raised questions about the 20% rate increases projected for the coming years and the rationale behind not adjusting the entire rate to an average of 11%. Collier clarified that the rates were set to meet the loan repayment schedule for upcoming projects. Further discussion ensued about the specific rate adjustments, with Council members seeking clarity on the differences between Scenario 2A and the current adjustments.

After a detailed review, the Council moved to approve Resolution 2410, with unanimous agreement from all members.
