Council reads ordinance delegating city water rates to Director of Public Service
Summary
Ordinance No. 25-219 would amend Section 54.23 to make water rates a matter of the Director of Public Service's schedule (Exhibit A) and includes an emergency clause; the transcript contains the ordinance text and publication certificate but does not record the council vote or the Exhibit A rate table.
At its Jan. 20 meeting, the Wadsworth City Council held a third reading of Ordinance No. 25-219, sponsored by Council Member Tom Stugmyer, which amends Section 54.23 to make municipal water rates subject to a supplemental schedule set by the Director of Public Service (referred to in the ordinance as Exhibit A). The ordinance text declares the change an emergency measure "necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, and safety in the City of Wadsworth in order to provide for more fair and appropriate rates for water treatment and distribution."
The transcript includes the ordinance language and a certificate of publication but does not include the contents of Exhibit A, any discussion of specific dollar amounts in the council session, or a recorded roll-call tally. The ordinance states it would take immediate effect with a two-thirds vote or at the earliest time permitted by law if approved by a majority; the Director of Public Service is named in the ordinance as responsible for setting the current water rate schedule.
