Coolidge council unanimously approves new water and sewer rates effective March billing cycle
Summary
The Coolidge City Council voted unanimously Feb. 11 to raise water and sewer rates; the increase will appear in the March billing cycle and notice will be posted at City Hall. The minutes were later amended to note Melissa Johnson did not cast a recorded vote on the measure.
The Coolidge City Council voted unanimously Feb. 11 to approve a change in the city's water and sewer rates that will take effect within the March billing cycle. W.C. Smith moved the rate change and Elizabeth Leger seconded; councilmembers Melissa Johnson, Freddie Johnson and Todd Braswell were recorded as voting "aye." Mayor Diane H. Causey presided.
The council directed that the rate increase be included in the next billing statement and that official notice be posted at City Hall. The minutes also record a subsequent correction: the minutes were amended to reflect that Melissa Johnson did not cast a recorded vote on the water and sewer rate item.
The motion was presented during general finance business; council discussion recorded no dissent and the vote was entered as unanimous in the minutes. The action was moved by W.C. Smith and seconded by Elizabeth Leger.
The minutes do not specify the percentage or dollar amount of the rate change; the council noted only the effective timing and the posting requirement. Details about bill impact on residential or commercial customers were not provided in the minutes and are therefore not stated here.
The council handled the rate-setting as a routine agenda item; no formal public comment on the rate change was recorded at this meeting. Follow-up or appeal rights, and any required state notifications, were not specified in the minutes.
