Granite Falls council delays action on water and sewer facility charge rates, adds neighboring-city comparisons
Summary
Council continued its review of general facility charge rates for water and sewer on May 15, asking staff to incorporate rates from eight neighboring cities and to return with the item for action in June or July once the moratorium is lifted.
The Granite Falls City Council on May 15 continued its discussion of proposed general facility charge rates for water and sewer and asked staff to return with a recommendation for action in June or July, to take effect when the current moratorium is lifted.
Staff presented current rates from eight neighboring cities for the council’s comparison, and council discussion followed; the minutes do not record a formal vote on rates at this meeting. No new rate numbers were adopted and the minutes state the item will be brought back for action in June or July 2024.
The change would affect new connections and development costs; the minutes do not specify projected revenue impacts, specific rate proposals, or which of the neighboring cities’ rates staff used in their comparison. The council’s direction was to continue analysis and return with a proposal when the moratorium ends.
