Council approves final reading of Ordinance 350 to raise sewer rates for Elkins service area
Summary
On final reading the Elkins City Council approved Ordinance 350 to amend sewer service rates and regulations for Elkins and vicinity. The ordinance passed by voice vote after the council held a public hearing with no registered speakers.
The Elkins City Council approved Ordinance 350 on final reading, a measure "to amend and reenact the rates, rules, and regulations for furnishing sewer service at Elkins and vicinity, Randolph County, West Virginia, by increasing the rates charged therefore." Mayor Marco called for a motion and the council approved the ordinance by voice vote.
The public hearing on Ordinance 350 was opened at the start of the meeting and closed with no members of the public signed up to comment. City staff and utility advisors had previously briefed councilors on the need to address aging infrastructure and inflation-driven costs for wastewater systems. The motion to adopt was recorded as carried; the transcript shows the council approved the final reading by voice vote, with no roll-call tallies documented in the meeting record.
