Summary

After a public hearing with no public comment, the Harris Planning Commission unanimously voted to recommend amendments to Public Utilities Ordinance sections 54.02 and 54.03 to align ordinance language with the city's adopted fee schedule and remove conflicting fee references; recommendation goes to City Council for final action.

A public hearing opened at approximately 7:03 p.m. on Jan. 26 on administrative updates to the City of Harris’s Public Utilities Ordinance sections 54.02 and 54.03. The revisions are intended to clarify language, align the ordinance with the city’s adopted fee schedule and remove conflicting fee references.

Following the hearing, Commissioner Elmquist moved and Commissioner Shari Denny seconded a motion to recommend the ordinance updates to the Harris City Council. The motion carried unanimously. No members of the public spoke during the hearing.

The recommendation does not itself change city code; it forwards the proposed amendments to the City Council for its consideration and any formal adoption. The Planning Commission’s action followed staff presentation and commissioner discussion of the wording changes and fee alignment. The commission did not record any separate amendments to the proposal during the meeting.

Next steps: The City Council will consider the Planning Commission’s recommendation at a future meeting; a date for Council consideration was not specified in the Planning Commission minutes.
