Coolidge council agrees on $10 land-use processing fee, discusses $100 emergency reconnect charge
Summary
At a June 3 workshop the Coolidge City Council agreed that a $10 land-use compliance processing fee is fair, discussed adding a $100 emergency after-hours reconnect fee to the ordinance, and agreed to bring a reimbursement transfer from the water/sewer fund to the general fund to the next council meeting for approval.
The Coolidge City Council discussed a set of utility-related ordinances and fees during a June 3, 2025 workshop, agreeing that a $10 Land Use Compliance Form processing fee is appropriate and directing staff to advance related ordinance language to a future meeting.
Council members also debated a proposed $100 emergency after-hours reconnect fee. Members emphasized the need to define what constitutes an "emergency," asked staff to confirm whether such a fee would be added to a customer's bill, and suggested requiring a signed acknowledgement when after-hours services occur. The council asked that the emergency-fee language be added to the ordinance before the next regular council meeting so the body can consider it formally.
Workshop participants further agreed to place a reimbursement transfer from the Water/Sewer fund to the General Fund on the agenda of an upcoming council meeting for formal approval; the transcript does not specify the dollar amount of that transfer.
No formal votes or motions with roll-call tallies were recorded in the workshop minutes for these items; the record describes consensus among council members to move the items forward.
