The Jonesboro Town Council on March 11 introduced an ordinance to adjust church utility rates to the same level as residential rates. Alderman Siadek made the motion to introduce the ordinance and Alderman Evans seconded; the motion passed with no discussion recorded.
Council scheduled a public hearing on the proposal for Tuesday, April 8, 2025, at 5:30 p.m. The transcript does not include the ordinance’s full text, the current and proposed rate tables, or any staff analysis of fiscal impacts. Those details will be appropriate for the public hearing record but were not available in the March 11 minutes.
Because the item was introduced rather than adopted, the council did not vote on rate changes at the March 11 meeting; next steps are review at the public hearing and any future motions to adopt or amend the ordinance.
