Council introduces ordinance to amend water rates, citing consultant report
Summary
On July 2 the Greentown Town Council introduced Ordinance 2024-2 to amend waterworks rates after a financial report by Therber Brock & Associates, LLP concluded current rates are insufficient to maintain and operate the system; additional ordinances 2024-3–2024-5 were also introduced without detail.
President Scott Deyoe introduced proposed Ordinance 2024-2, "An Ordinance of The Town of Greentown Amending the Rates and Charges Relating to the Waterworks of the Town," during the 'Items from Attorney' portion of the July 2 meeting.
The council record cites a financial report prepared by Therber Brock & Associates, LLP. Based on that report, the council found "the current rates and charges for the use of and services rendered by the Waterworks are insufficient to enable the Town to properly maintain and operate its Waterworks in a sound physical and financial condition to render adequate and efficient service." The record states the council found rates must be increased to provide sufficient revenue.
The transcript records only the ordinance introduction and the findings as presented; it does not include enacted rate schedules, vote counts, or implementation dates for the ordinance in the provided segments. Ordinances 2024-3, 2024-4 and 2024-5 were introduced at the same time but no substantive details for those ordinances appear in the recorded segments.
