Bennet council approves final reading of water-usage rate ordinance
Summary
The Bennet City Council approved final reading of Ordinance 2025-8.1 amending water usage rates after a unanimous roll-call vote, advancing the new rates into effect per the ordinance schedule.
Mayor Ryan Cheney called the meeting to order at 7:00 PM and the council moved quickly to several action items. At final reading the council approved Ordinance 2025-8.1, an amendment to the city’s water usage rates, by unanimous roll-call vote.
The ordinance was reintroduced by the mayor and brought to a vote after discussion. "Ordinance 2025-8.1 Amending Water Usage Rates, Final Reading" was moved by Councilmember Simmons and seconded by Councilmember Zieg; the minutes record the roll call vote as YES: Simmons, Schmidt, Zieg, Buck. The council did not record separate dissenting remarks or amendments during the final-reading motion.
The action moves the ordinance past final reading; the minutes do not specify the new rates or an effective date in this entry. The council meeting minutes say only that the ordinance was approved on final reading. Additional details about the new rate schedule or implementation timeline were not specified in the minutes and are expected to appear in the ordinance text or future staff communications.
The vote was part of routine business on the Nov. 10 agenda. The council proceeded afterward to other items including infrastructure contracts and community-event approvals.
