Council adopts ordinance raising water system deposit to $200
Summary
Ordinance 1622 was adopted to increase the deposit for the city's water system from the ordinance-stated $50 to $200 (the city had already been charging $200 in practice); those who already paid $200 will be credited.
Mayor Courtney presented Ordinance 1622 to increase the deposit required for use of the city's water system. Although the existing ordinance specified a $50 deposit, prior administrations had effectively set the deposit at $200; the ordinance change codifies the $200 deposit. Fritch moved to adopt Ordinance 1622 and Goins seconded; the motion passed by roll-call vote, 6-0-1.
Council noted that customers who previously paid $200 would receive credit as appropriate under the ordinance change. The ordinance standardizes the deposit amount and updates the municipal code to match current practice.
