Davis Junction board postpones ordinance that would raise water and building fees
Summary
The Davis Junction board debated changes to annual fees, including higher water-meter and building permit charges, but rescinded an approval motion and voted to postpone ordinance 26-06 for three weeks so staff can correct redlines and clarify rate changes.
President Rick and trustees discussed proposed ordinance 26-06, which would update the village's annual fee schedule and includes increases to several water-meter and building-related fees. Trustee John initially moved to approve the ordinance with a typographical correction to the table of contents; trustees questioned the packet language and inconsistent redlines showing rate changes.
Trustee Chris asked whether the board was only changing a page number or also altering fees; President Rick read the redlined language aloud, noting changes such as increases shown in the packet for replacement water meters. After discussion and concern that the public packet did not clearly present all fee changes, John rescinded his motion and the board postponed consideration for three weeks to allow staff and counsel to correct the document and clarify rate adjustments.
The board's decision to delay means the ordinance will return to a future agenda with corrected redlines and explicit fee tables; no final fee changes were adopted tonight. Deputy Clerk Bridal confirmed the postponement and staff committed to circulating an amended packet before the next meeting.
