Council hears rate study findings; councilmember urges $270,000 annual set-aside
Summary
Councilmember Joshua Good said prior rate-study work saved about $50,000 and urged the city to set aside at least $270,000 per year for sewer upkeep; staff were asked to prepare a multiyear plan for council review.
Councilmember Joshua Good summarized the rate-study and asset management review, telling colleagues the work completed last year has produced about $50,000 in savings and that the city should "set aside $270,000 every year at the very least" for sewer maintenance and capital replacement.
Good asked administration to prepare a multiyear plan for the council to consider and vote on at a future meeting. The rate-study presentation and subsequent discussion noted the need to align reserve levels with projected capital needs and the General Sewer Plan that Jackson Civil Engineering recommended.
Councilmembers did not vote on a funding action at this meeting; staff were asked to return with more detailed proposals and a timeline.
