PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

A\u00a0 Stormwater utility fees presentation was made. \u00a0Alternatives were made on the rate structure, from feedback received, from the city council and the public, along with the process as it relates to parcels, concerning runoff, including vacant property and ag land.\u00a0 Three dollars per month fee to residential properties is one alternative in the report to support the utility.\u00a0 Another alternative is four dollars per month for all properties. Another is a base fee at\u00a0 $1.75 for each parcel, plus a number to be determined as a multiplier.<\/p>\n

The calculations show a rate fee of from$2.65\u00a0 to $23.65 per property, per month.<\/p>\n

After considering the alternatives, committee unanimously\u00a0 recommends, through a Resolution\u00a0 the rate of a one year minimum residential fee of $3.00 per month, as residents have been told.\u00a0 The monthly fee for all other properties is $4.00 per month.<\/p>\n

The committee recommends awarding the Rehabilitation of Wells 8 and 9 to Watersmith, in the amount of $42,416, to include labor, pumps, motors and drop pipe to be completed this fall.<\/p>\n
