Fairgrove schedules Nov. 4 public hearing on proposed USDA sewer rate increase
Summary
Village council voted 4-0 to hold a public hearing on Nov. 4, 2024, at 6 p.m. and to mail notice to residents after a motion to table discussion failed. The hearing will allow public comment before any change to sewer rates tied to USDA matters.
The Village of Fairgrove council voted Oct. 7 to hold a public hearing on proposed changes to sewer rates related to USDA matters. The hearing is set for Nov. 4, 2024, at 6:00 p.m., and the village will mail notice to residents, Clerk-Treasurer Smith said.
The move followed a failed attempt to table the discussion. Council member Sebert moved to table consideration of the USDA sewer-rate increase; after debate the motion did not carry. Council then voted 4-0 to schedule the public hearing, with Sebert making the motion and Harrison seconding.
The hearing will provide a formal opportunity for residents to ask questions and comment before any rate change is adopted. The transcript notes that the village will send mailed notices to property owners; no new rate figures or timetable for adoption were provided in the meeting record.
Next steps: the council will conduct the Nov. 4 public hearing and receive public comment; any subsequent vote to adopt or amend rates would be recorded at a future meeting.
