Council sets $35 monthly sewer rental for homes not on Albia Water; review planned in six months
Summary
Sanitation Commissioner Buck Fry proposed a $35 flat monthly sewer rental for homes using Albia sewer service but not Albia Water; the council gave consensus to start with $35 and review the rate in six months (no formal recorded vote).
Sanitation Commissioner Buck Fry recommended at the Feb. 1 Albia City Council meeting that homes connected to the city sewer but not served by Albia Water be charged a flat sewer rental of $35.00 per month. According to the meeting minutes, the council gave consensus to begin with the $35 rate and to reassess it after six months.
The recommendation was presented as an administrative proposal rather than a formally recorded ordinance or fee schedule change; the minutes show the council agreed to the approach and will review the outcome in roughly six months. The council did not record a formal roll-call vote on the rate in the minutes.
Implementation and oversight of the change were left to city staff. The council's consensus directs staff to begin billing at the $35 monthly rate and return with any necessary follow-up or recommended adjustments at the review date.
