Grantsville staff to credit customers after irrigation fee miscalculation; public comment raised concerns
Summary
A public commenter raised concerns about billing of irrigation shares. City Manager Michael Resare said staff discovered a miscalculation and set a new annual irrigation rate at $206.28 ($17.19/month); customers who paid the higher amount will receive account credits and a revised letter will be sent with clearer explanations.
During public comment, Kevin Casey addressed the council regarding Resolution 2025-42 and expressed concerns about Grantsville City’s billing of irrigation shares. The comment was recorded on the meeting agenda under public comment.
City Manager Michael Resare subsequently reported a miscalculation in the irrigation fees. He said the corrected annual rate will be $206.28 (equivalent to $17.19 per month). Mr. Resare told the council that residents who paid the higher rate will receive an account credit and that staff will send a revised letter explaining the change. The council discussed whether to amend the resolution; City Attorney Tysen Barker clarified that an amended resolution is not required because administration may make such corrections.
Council and staff also discussed including a clearer explanation in the revised letter of why the city is collecting fees for six months prior to the 2026 water year. No formal motion to amend the resolution was recorded in the minutes; the matter was described as an administrative correction handled by staff.
