Council hears ordinance change: annual refile required for yard-sprinkling credit
Summary
Town Attorney Lee Robbins presented Ordinance 2025-6 to amend the Yard Sprinkling Ordinance so customers must refile each year by May 1 to receive a sprinkling credit; the transcript records presentation of the amendment but does not record a formal adoption vote in that segment.
Town Attorney Lee Robbins presented Ordinance 2025-6 amending the Yard Sprinkling Ordinance at the Oct. 13 Morgantown council meeting. Under the amendment, customers must refile each year by May 1 to receive the yard-sprinkling credit; the previous version granted the credit after a single signup without annual renewal.
The council discussed the change as presented by Robbins. The transcript notes the ordinance was presented but does not record a formal adoption or roll-call vote in the segment covering the presentation.
Why it matters The change alters eligibility and administrative handling of a utility billing credit tied to water-use practices. Requiring annual re-enrollment gives the town a recurring verification step to confirm eligibility and manage credits consistently.
Next steps The transcript does not show a recorded adoption vote in this meeting segment; council records should be checked for subsequent action or formal adoption at a later meeting.
