Bennet staff present CIP requests; council delays water and sewer rate decisions until August budget hearings
Summary
City staff presented a list of CIP projects and utility requests; Utility Superintendent Zach Fergus and City Engineer Brian Schuele summarized changes. Auditor Michael Hoback recommended rate increases, but the council agreed to consider any water and sewer fee changes during August budget hearings.
Mayor Ryan Cheney introduced the council to a list of proposed capital improvement projects and utility requests. Utility Superintendent Zach Fergus gave an overview of his submissions, City Engineer Brian Schuele had revised prior requests, and City Clerk Sue Biltoft described administrative changes she requested to the CIP list. The council discussed affected fiscal years but did not make final approvals at the meeting.
Separately, Michael Hoback, the city's auditor, recommended increases to water and sewer service fees and usage. After discussion the council decided to review proposed rate changes as part of the formal budget hearings in August rather than adopt changes at the June meeting. The Quincy Street Replat Agreement was also tabled until July at the request of City Attorney David Solheim to allow additional review.
