Council Member Bell informed the council that Senate Bill 80 passed and will allow the state Department of Environmental Quality to assess a new water fee to all users. She estimated the fee will cost the city approximately $2,000 annually and said the city expects to absorb the cost without raising rates. Bell also noted updated cross-connection requirements from state regulators are forthcoming and may affect city operations.
Separately, Council Member Patterson reported that the Leon Poulsen Company has been contracted to replace damaged collars and that road repairs are planned on 6550 South, including a critical area on the opposite side of the highway to prevent further deterioration. No contract amounts or firm timelines were given in the meeting record.
