Corinne council sets public hearing on commercial sewer-rate changes for Oct. 21
Summary
Council scheduled a public hearing for Oct. 21 to consider changes to commercial sewer rates after staff said six businesses use disproportionate sewer capacity; councilors said detailed information and proposed rate structures will be provided before the hearing.
The Corinne City Council scheduled a public hearing for Oct. 21 to consider changes to commercial sewer rates intended to address several businesses with high sewer usage.
Council members said staff will provide detailed information and proposed rate structures ahead of the public hearing. An unidentified council member explained the rationale: the proposed change is intended to balance residential and commercial sewer billing because “we've got 6 different businesses that use an excessive amount” and the city needs to adjust rates to reflect actual use.
Karen Caldwell moved to set the public hearing date; the motion passed. Council indicated the public hearing will allow affected businesses and residents to comment before any ordinance or rate change is adopted.
Next steps: staff will publish the proposed rate changes, supporting data, and the final public hearing notice before Oct. 21.
