The Boxholm City Council on Feb. 13 discussed sewer department expenses and instructed staff to prepare a resolution proposing a $2 increase to sewer rates.

The transcript records the council's direction to prepare the resolution but does not record a formal vote adopting the rate change at this meeting.
