City Council - Regular Meeting

The City Council held a special meeting to discuss proposed increases to sewer and electric rates. The mayor and utility representatives presented the necessity of these increases due to outdated infrastructure, inflation, and compliance with federal mandates. The council voted to pass the first reading of the electric rate and bond ordinances, and the sewer bond and rate ordinances, despite some abstentions and concerns from council members and the public regarding the financial burden on residents and the long-term planning of these projects.
