Chrisney council adopts ordinance to add purchased water cost tracking factor
Summary
The Chrisney Town Council on May 4 approved Ordinance #2026-2, amending Chapter 15.06.100(2) to adopt a purchased water cost tracking factor to implement a previously approved water rate increase; the motion passed after a council member moved and another seconded, with no detailed tally reported.
The Chrisney Town Council on May 4 adopted Ordinance #2026-2, which amends Chapter 15.06.100(2) to establish a purchased water cost tracking factor intended to implement a water rate increase approved at the council's April meeting.
Andrew, a council member, presented the ordinance and said the council needed to adopt the ordinance to implement the rate increase passed in April. Greg moved to approve the ordinance and Mason seconded; the motion carried, though the transcript does not record a roll-call tally.
The ordinance language cited by the council adds a mechanism for tracking purchased/wholesale water costs so adjustments to customer rates can reflect changes in the town’s costs for purchased water, Andrew said. The council did not record additional amendments in the meeting minutes.
The council’s action follows prior rate discussion in April; council members did not request further study during the May 4 session. No public comment specific to the ordinance was recorded in the meeting minutes.
The meeting proceeded to other business after the vote. The council approved routine financial and payroll reports and adjourned that evening.
