Summary

Per a Sept. 2025 agreement, the county asked to delay taking back sewer billing to June 1; the council agreed to allow the extension and raised the per-account billing rate to $4.00.

The council reviewed an intergovernmental agreement under which Wakulla County was to resume sewer billing for the city on May 1 under terms agreed in September 2025. The county requested an extension until June 1. Vice Mayor Edwards expressed concern for customers and moved to allow the extension but to increase the per-account billing rate to $4.00; the motion passed 4–0.

The adjustment grants the county an extra month to complete the transition while increasing the per-account billing fee. The council did not provide additional details on how the fee increase will be applied to customers or whether it will be absorbed by the county or passed through; those details were not specified in the meeting record.
