The City of Byron held a first reading Jan. 9, 2023 of an ordinance that would allow annual increases in municipal monthly rates based on the Consumer Price Index.
The ordinance, introduced for first reading as Ordinance #2023-1, would amend Chapter 1 (general provisions) to add a section providing for annual CPI-based increases to monthly rates and would change Chapter 40 (utilities) to update water and sewer monthly rate schedules and add a stormwater utility section (Sec. 40-202). It would also add a section to Chapter 32 concerning solid waste (Sec. 32-19).

The mayor convened the meeting at 6:00 p.m.; no council member is recorded as moving or seconding this first-reading item in the minutes.
