Bennet council approves water-rate change and revises Board of Adjustment membership
Summary
At its Oct. 13 meeting the Bennet City Council approved Ordinance 2025-8.1, adjusting water-usage rates, and Ordinance 2025-9.1, changing Board of Adjustment membership; both measures passed unanimously among voting council members present.
The Bennet City Council on Oct. 13 approved two ordinances: a second-reading amendment to water usage rates and a change to the membership rules for the Board of Adjustment.
Mayor Ryan Cheney introduced Ordinance 2025-8.1, an amendment to City Code 52.02 that adjusts water-usage rates. Council member Pete Simmons moved to approve Second Reading, seconded by Council member Schmidt. The motion carried on a roll-call vote recorded as yes from Schmidt, Simmons, Dan Zieg and Josh Buck.
The council then took up Ordinance 2025-9.1 to amend City Code 32.02 regarding membership of the Board of Adjustment. The council voted to waive the three-reading rule and subsequently approved the ordinance. The motion to adopt Ordinance 2025-9.1 was moved by Council member Dan Zieg and seconded by Council member Pete Simmons; the roll-call vote was recorded as yes from Zieg, Buck, Schmidt and Simmons.
Both measures were approved during the regular meeting, which was attended by Mayor Ryan Cheney, council members Josh Buck, Pete Simmons, Dan Zieg and a council member identified in the minutes as Schmidt; City Clerk Sue Biltoft and city staff were present for the discussion.
The ordinances take effect according to the city code schedule unless otherwise noted in their texts. The council did not provide detailed fiscal breakdowns or rate tables in the public minutes; the record shows approval but does not specify the exact rate changes or implementation dates.
