Summary

The Town of Jonesboro Board of Aldermen approved Ordinance 2024-007 to increase municipal water rates during its Sept. 10 meeting.
Alderman James Ginn moved to adopt Ordinance 2024-007 and Alderman Robbie Siadek seconded. The ordinance passed by a 3–1 vote: ayes from Robbie Siadek, Nia Johnson and James Ginn; a single no vote from Devin Flowers. The minutes record the ordinance number but do not specify the amount of the increase or when the new rates take effect.
The vote was recorded on the meeting agenda item for water rates; there is no notation of amendments or a follow-up schedule in the minutes. Town leaders present included Mayor James “Spike” Harris and the four aldermen in attendance. The public hearing earlier in the evening drew no comments.
Because the meeting text omits specific rate figures and an effective date, residents should consult the town clerk’s office or the published ordinance for the full rate schedule and implementation timeline.
