Council approves adjustments to Malden water and wastewater rates
Summary
Ordinance No. 3309, to adjust city water and wastewater customer rates and make transfers within the Board of Public Works, passed both readings by 6–2 votes; the transcript does not list specific rate amounts.
The Malden City Council on March 16 approved ORDINANCE NO. 3309, which the transcript describes as an adjustment to rates for city water and wastewater customers and authorizes transfers within the Board of Public Works.
Council Member House moved the first reading and Council Member Dierks seconded; the first-reading poll vote passed 6–2. Council Member House later moved the second reading, seconded by Council Member Jones; that vote also passed 6–2. Council Members Downs and Jenkins voted no on the recorded roll calls. The transcript does not record the dollar amounts of the rate adjustments, the schedule for increases, or the expected revenue impact.
The ordinance text on the record provides for the adjustment of rates and repeals conflicting ordinances. Because the record lacks numbers and effective dates, the council’s approval indicates policy direction but leaves fiscal specifics to the ordinance document itself or subsequent staff implementation steps.
