Committee backs Ehlers water-rate study amid concerns over utility finances
Summary
The committee recommended council approval of a scope of services submitted by Ehlers to perform a 2025 water rate study after staff flagged the water department's financial status; the recommendation passed unanimously.
Brenda Ayers told the City of Lodi EDFHR committee on Jan. 14 that staff recommended engaging Ehlers to conduct a 2025 water rate study because of the water department's current financial status.
On a motion by Rich Stevenson, seconded by Tim Ripp, the committee voted 5–0 on a roll-call to recommend council approval of the scope of services submitted by Ehlers. The minutes record the recommendation but do not include the study's cost, timeline, or proposed rate scenarios.
Ayers asked committee members to submit any questions or comments by email; the recommendation now goes to the Common Council for action.
