Council Advances Ordinance to Move Utility Fees into Resolution and Add Capacity Reservation Process

Missouri City Council voted unanimously March 16 on an ordinance amendment to Chapter 86 of the Missouri City Code that will repeal service fees from the code and place fee schedules into a resolution, and that will add a process for reserving utility capacity once available capacity is reviewed and capital recovery fees are paid. Staff advised the ordinance change is intended to give the city flexibility to manage development and utility capacity and that the ordinance will return for second reading on April 6.
