Payson officials say sewer upgrade needs an additional $11 million
Summary
Finance Director Cathy Jensen and Public Works staff warned the council that the sewer upgrade project requires an additional $11 million, prompting discussion of bonds, rates and impact fees to cover the gap.
Cathy Jensen, Payson City Finance Director, told council members that the sewer plant engineer has indicated an additional $11 million will be required to complete the planned sewer upgrade project. She reviewed current bond schedules and described the bonding process as council and staff discussed next steps.
Public Works Director Travis Jockumsen later reviewed the city's sewer plant expansion work and ongoing construction projects, noting the need to coordinate funding, schedule and permitting as the project moves forward. Council members and staff discussed options including bond issuance, impact fees and the legal notice process that preserves the right to hold a public hearing on a tax increase without obligating the city to raise taxes.
