Stetsonville board approves sewer‑rate increase tied to Medford regionalization study
Summary
The Village of Stetsonville unanimously approved a resolution to raise sanitary sewer service fees for 2026 based on an Ehlers Phase 2 rate study connected to planned regionalization with the City of Medford; the board also acknowledged interim financing to cover SEH invoices.
The Village of Stetsonville board voted unanimously July 13 to approve a resolution increasing sanitary sewer service fees for 2026, following a Phase 2 rate study prepared by Ehlers tied to regionalization planning with the City of Medford.
President Greg Brunner presented the Ehlers study and the proposed fee adjustments. The board adopted the resolution on a motion from Trustee Al Riemer, seconded by Trustee Tyler Lemke; all four members present voted in favor (Trustee Stephanie Bohn was absent). The motion recorded as approved by unanimous voice vote.
Clerk/Treasurer Tia Kancilia told the board the village received the requested interim financing payment to cover invoices from SEH related to the regionalization work. The board recorded the receipt of those funds as part of the Old Business items.
The meeting record also notes a community event—“Boots on the Ground,” an ATV ride organized by the City of Medford on June 24—that aimed to publicize local interest in a rail‑trail instead of restoring rail service in Taylor County; the report was informational and did not change the board’s actions on sewer fees.
The resolution implements the fee adjustment for 2026; the minutes do not list specific dollar amounts or the new fee schedule. The board did not attach further implementation dates or a sunset to the action during this meeting.
The board’s formal action: approval of the Ehlers‑recommended sanitary sewer service fee increase and acknowledgment of interim financing to cover SEH invoices. The next regular meeting is scheduled for Aug. 17, 2026.
