Summary

Ordinance 954 (sewer chapter updates) was presented but tabled for consistency with the water ordinance after council decided to delay related changes until deposit and billing language are reconciled.

Council reviewed Ordinance 954, a first-reading package of relatively smaller wording changes to Chapter 21 (sewer) largely intended to move rate-setting to a resolution and align billing/delinquent procedures with the water code. Given the outstanding questions on the water ordinance, council voted to table Ordinance 954 to ensure consistent language across both water and sewer rules.

Council members suggested sending the item to the policies and procedures committee for a thorough review before returning it to the full council for action.
