Council adopts resolution setting equipment and hourly rates for emergency and after-hours work
Summary
Plankinton City Council adopted Resolution 5-4-2026 to set equipment at $100 per hour and labor at $70 per hour (regular) and $90 per hour for weekends/after-hours, to reimburse city response costs for utility repairs and similar incidents.
Plankinton City Council voted to adopt Resolution 5-4-2026, which establishes hourly equipment and labor rates the city may charge or use when responding to utility incidents and other calls requiring city crews.
Chair Jimmy Poole (speaker 2) described the resolution and its purpose: "We were setting the equipment at a $100 an hour," and he summarized the labor schedule as "$70 per hour for regular and $90 per hour, for weekends after hours and holidays." Committee member (speaker 6) moved to approve the resolution and the council completed a roll-call with the members present recorded in favor.
Council said the schedule is intended to standardize charges for emergency or off-hour responses and to align rates across similar equipment. Members noted that the lawnmower item previously listed at $150 was removed from the resolution to avoid duplication with a separate ordinance that already sets that rate. The resolution passed by recorded vote with the council instructing staff to publish and apply the new rate schedule where appropriate.
