Board tables proposal to raise water start-up fee to $100 and shut-off fee to $25
Summary
Trustees heard a proposal to raise the water start-up fee from $25 to $100 and the shut-off fee to $25; Trustee Jones moved to approve the change but the board tabled discussion for a future meeting.
At the Dec. 4 meeting, trustees discussed raising water start-up and shut-off fees after comparing the village's current rates to other communities. The minutes record that "Our current start-up fee is $25 while others charge $75-$100 and $25-$50 for shut-off. Trustee Jones made a MOTION to approve the rate increase to $25 for shut-off and $100 for startup. Trustee Thompson SECONDED the motion. Discussion was tabled." No final vote on the rate change occurred at the meeting.
The minutes attribute the rate-review discussion to Water Clerk Wheeler and Superintendent Gorsuch; the board did not adopt new rates and instead tabled the matter for further consideration, leaving the current $25 start-up fee and existing shut-off fee in place until the board revisits the item.
