A public hearing on April 24, 2025, opened by a hearing officer (name not specified in the transcript), considered a proposal to change the town's irrigation billing from quarterly per-acre charges to a monthly flat rate of $16.25.
The change, as described during the hearing, would shift billing from a quarterly schedule to monthly billing and replace a per-acre charge with a single flat rate of $16.25 per month. The hearing officer read the proposal into the record and invited public comment.
Laura Lasko, a resident, spoke in favor of the increase. "My name is Laura Lasko and I believe that we shouldn't, the town shouldn't run-in arrears or in the red over providing us water. So I believe, I support the increase so that we can at least wait for them if not be able to put a little bit of money aside for breakage and repairs and things like that," Lasko said.
No other substantive public comments were recorded in the transcript. The hearing officer then closed the public hearing. The transcript does not record any formal vote, motion, or final decision adopting the proposed fee change.
Because the transcript only records the opening of the public hearing, one resident comment, and the closing of the hearing, next steps (including whether the governing body will vote on the proposal or schedule further hearings) are not specified in the available record.
