Commissioner Banzet proposes utility rate increases to fund Neodesha Fire/EMS
Summary
Commissioner Banzet presented a proposal to fund the Fire/EMS department by raising monthly meter rates, reallocating gas and electric fund revenue, and increasing solid-waste service fees; the item will be placed on the August 27, 2025 agenda for formal discussion.
Commissioner Banzet presented a PowerPoint to the commission outlining a proposal to fund the Neodesha Fire/EMS Department by raising monthly meter rates, utilizing the City’s gas and electric funds, and increasing Solid Waste service fees. He told the board the proposal would be formally added to the agenda for discussion at the August 27, 2025 meeting.
The presentation provided no final dollar amounts in the minutes; the commission did not vote on the funding measures at the August 13 meeting. The proposal was entered on the public agenda for the next regular meeting so commissioners, staff and the public can review specific rate changes and fiscal impacts before any formal motion or ordinance is introduced.
