Council adopts Ordinance 15-68 to standardize sewer fees, adds $500 application charge
Summary
The Red Bud City Council approved Ordinance 15-68 to standardize sewer fees and add a $500 application fee for sewer work, following a staff explanation of new tracer-wire requirements for nonconductive piping. The ordinance passed after a short discussion and voice/roll-call vote.
The Red Bud City Council voted to adopt Ordinance 15-68, a sweep of sewer ordinance updates that standardize fees and establish a $500 application charge, after staff explained technical and administrative changes.
Rodney, a city staff member, told the council the ordinance consolidates prior provisions, adds a new requirement for tracer wire on nonconductive piping and sets a $500 application fee for sewer-related permits. "We just standardized ... we have the fee of the $500 for this, sewer," Rodney said while explaining committee review and the repeal of conflicting sections.
The council considered the ordinance as a single item. A council member moved to adopt Ordinance 15-68 and a second was recorded; the council then carried the motion. The transcript records the motion and that the council voted to approve the ordinance (vote tallies were not specified in the public record provided).
City officials said the changes reflect committee discussion and aim to simplify administration of sewer permits and ensure technical compliance with new pipe-tracer requirements. The ordinance language repeals overlapping sections of the prior code and centralizes the fee schedule into the updated section presented to members.
The ordinance takes effect under the city’s normal implementation process unless an effective date is specified in the final signed ordinance. The council moved on to other business after the motion carried.
