Crowley council approves sewer user fee increase after public hearing; one resident voiced opposition
Summary
Ordinance No. 15-53 to adjust sewer user fees, recommended by a special Sewer User Fee Review Committee and certified by city staff, passed after a public hearing during which a resident objected to rising costs.
The City of Crowley on a roll-call vote adopted Ordinance No. 15-53 to amend Chapter 10, Article 2, Division 1.5, Section 10-30 and adjust sewer user fees and rates. The ordinance adopts rates certified by the city clerk following recommendations by the Sewer User Fee Review Committee and the city engineer, CPA and auditor.
A public commenter who identified himself as Mr. Martin told the council he opposed the change, saying, 'I oppose it...Everything is going up, up, up.' The council closed the hearing after soliciting comments and proceeded to consider the ordinance.
Council members moved the ordinance for adoption and conducted a roll-call vote as recorded in the meeting minutes; the mayor announced the motion carried. The meeting record notes procedural confusion prior to roll call but shows the council completed the vote and adopted the fee adjustments.
The ordinance text, as read during the meeting, includes normal severability and repeal language and directs the clerk to implement the newly adopted rates.
