North East adopts FY2027 budget ordinance, establishes water rates and fees
Summary
On May 27, 2026 the Town of North East unanimously adopted Ordinance 2026‑05‑02 approving the FY2027 General, Capital and Enterprise (Water) funds and establishing water rates, connection and facility fees; the public hearing on the budget drew no comments.
The Mayor and Commissioners of the Town of North East adopted Ordinance 2026‑05‑02 on May 27, 2026, approving the General Fund, Capital Projects Fund and the Enterprise (Water) Fund for fiscal year 2027 and establishing water rates, connection fees, major facilities fees, ready‑to‑serve fees, bulk fees and EDU charges. Town Administrator Melissa Cook‑MacKenzie placed the ordinance on the record at the start of the public hearing; Mayor Benson opened the hearing and, after receiving no public comment, closed it.
Vice‑Mayor Kimberly Davis moved to approve Ordinance 2026‑05‑02; Commissioner Hilary Crothers‑Moore seconded the motion and it was approved by all members present. The minutes record the adoption as unanimous; the meeting record does not list specific fee amounts or new rate figures in the minutes themselves, so those numerical details are "not specified" in the meeting text and should be read in the ordinance document for exact amounts.
Town staff indicated the ordinance establishes the set of fees and rate classes used to bill customers and to collect connection and major facility charges; implementation details and effective dates are governed by the ordinance text.
