At the Nov. 13 meeting the Dunlap City Council discussed proposed Code of Ordinances changes, including phasing a 5% water/sewer increase in July 2025 and again in July 2026, higher rental deposits, a reconnect fee, returning private-pool rules, and a one-way behind the school. No ordinance was adopted.
The Dunlap City Council discussed a package of updates to the city’s Code of Ordinances at its Nov. 13 regular meeting, including phased increases to water and sewer rates and several fee and code adjustments.
Council members said they want to avoid a single large jump in utility rates and discussed implementing a 5% rate increase July 1, 2025, with a second 5% increase July 1, 2026. The council discussed raising the security deposit required for rental units from $100 to $200 and adding a reconnect fee to cover administrative and field costs when water service is restored. Council members also discussed reinstating rules for private swimming pools and restoring a one-way traffic designation behind the school.
The items were discussed as proposed ordinance changes; no formal ordinance or vote to adopt changes was recorded in the minutes. Council members framed the proposals as options for staff to prepare ordinance language and cost estimates for future consideration. The minutes do not record detailed financial analysis, a final schedule, or a public hearing date.
Next steps: staff were asked to prepare ordinance language and financial details for the council’s further review; no adoption or formal fiscal action occurred at the Nov. 13 meeting.
