Library Board Report from last night's City Commission meeting...

At the beginning of the video, the City Manager clarifies some items that are on the Consent Agenda regarding utility rates. He reminds the Commission and the public that these are mostly continuations of already existing rates, and where there are changes, these are consistent with discussions that preceded during the budget preparation process. He noted that the increase in sewerage charges includes a pass-through increase from the East Central Regional Sewer and that water rates will increase at a rate of 5% a year. That was determined by a rate study that was undertaken by the city and discussed at one of the many budget-related meetings.
