Overbrook approves $1,829,800 KDHE loan; ordinance #445 enacted, council flags sewer‑rate shortfall
Summary
City officials reported a KDHE loan commitment of $1,829,800 and approved Ordinance #445 to accept the loan; the city clerk warned of a draw‑down shortfall that will require adjusting sewer rates to cover the difference.
City officials told the Overbrook City Council on April 9 that the city has received a Kansas Department of Health and Environment loan agreement for $1,829,800 and that the council must approve Ordinance No. 445 to accept the funding.
The council voted to approve Ordinance #445 and authorized Mayor Jon Brady to sign the loan agreement. City Clerk Jim Koger said there is a shortfall on paying the draw‑down of the loan and that the city will need to adjust sewer rates to cover the difference. The council did not set a new rate at the meeting; staff were directed to return with options.
The loan approval is intended to advance the wastewater project; council members recorded the motion as passing 3–0. The council’s action binds the city to the loan terms once the mayor signs and creates a follow‑up task for staff to prepare any ordinance implementation steps and rate proposals.
