Staff proposes 25-cent increase to street-light fee after AES capacity fee rise; member questions move
Summary
Jamie Morley recommended a $0.25 increase to the street-light fee to offset higher AES capacity charges; Mr. Lauffer questioned raising fees given the Village’s reserves.
Jamie Morley recommended the committee consider raising the street-light fee by $0.25 to account for an AES capacity fee increase, saying the Village should be prepared for future higher costs. She reviewed the amount the Village brings in for the fee compared with the cost of lights and maintenance.
Mr. Lauffer pushed back, noting the Village currently has reserves and asked why the fee should be raised now. Morley responded that future increases are likely and the Village needs to plan for unforeseen circumstances. No vote was taken on the fee during the meeting.
