Nutter Fort council re-reads and adopts Ordinance 2025-04 on water rates after clerical re-publication
Summary
The Town of Nutter Fort held a public hearing and unanimously adopted Ordinance 2025-04 to amend the schedule of rates and charges for the town water system; officials said the re-reading was required by a clerical publication error and that the change is not a new fee.
The Town of Nutter Fort council opened a public hearing Jan. 27 on Ordinance 2025-04, which amends the schedule of rates and charges for the town’s water distribution system. Officials stated the second reading was required only because of a clerical error in the ordinance’s prior publication and emphasized that this was not a new fee.
Councilor Charlene Louk moved to accept Ordinance 2025-04 and Councilor Karen Phillips seconded. A roll-call vote was taken: Councilor Rick Lafferty, Recorder Natalie Haddix, Councilor Shawn Spurlock and Councilor Charlene Louk voted in favor; Councilor Sam Maxson was absent. The motion passed unanimously. The council closed the public hearing after asking twice for public comment and receiving none.
The ordinance was advanced on the town record without substantive change; the minutes do not specify an effective date. Town staff said the re-publication was clerical in nature and not a policy change. The council’s action fulfilled the procedural requirement to re-read the ordinance and remove the clerical defect.
