Council tables proposed code change making property owners pay sewer pump-outs; rate study to be done
Summary
A proposed amendment to Harrison City Code 7-2-14F to make property owners responsible for sewer pump-out expenses was tabled; Mayor Irish said an Idaho Rural Water Association rate study paid for by DEQ will inform next steps.
The council discussed a proposed amendment to Harrison City Code 7-2-14F that would make property owners responsible for sewer pump-out expenses and voted to table the item. Mayor Wanda Irish told the council that Shelley Roberts from the Idaho Rural Water Association will conduct a rate study funded by the DEQ; Joe Cornell moved to table the item and Josephine Prophet seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.
Minutes show the council deferred a decision pending the rate study rather than adopting the proposed code change at this meeting. "Shelley Roberts from Idaho Rural Water Association is going to do a Rate Study and it will be paid for by DEQ," the minutes record. The tabling preserves existing policy until the study and any staff recommendations are presented.
