Council adopts Resolution 144, sets a $65/month water user rate and 2.5% annual adjustment
Summary
Linn Valley adopted Resolution 144 to repeal the prior fee schedule, set a $65 monthly water user rate (first 3,000 gallons) with additional $10 per 1,000 over and a 2.5% annual inflation adjustment to rates.
The council adopted Resolution 144, repealing Resolution 141 and establishing an updated fee schedule for city services that includes a water user rate of $65 per month covering the first 3,000 gallons with $10 per additional 1,000 gallons. The resolution also continues a pre-set annual adjustment of 2.5% unless the council votes to rescind that provision.
Mayor Lester and staff said the $65 figure reflects work with USDA and other reviewers and was intended to let users rather than general tax increases fund the system. A council member asked about the arithmetic of the 2.5% increase and staff confirmed the nominal annual raise (2.5% of $65 is about $1.62). The resolution passed on a voice vote.
The council also discussed the timing for fill station pricing and the anticipated revenue schedule tied to the completion of transmission connections and the water tower cleaning and sanitation schedule.
