Council hears financial update; plans CDBG sidewalk application and lead/copper notification
Summary
Treasurer reported the city is breaking even on water with the new rates (which include trash service) though trash expenses exceed revenue; the council will apply for a CDBG grant for Main and 4th streets and will send a lead-and-copper notification after a prior recording error was corrected.
City financial staff told council the recent water rate change (which now incorporates trash service) has left the water fund breaking even; however, trash expenses remain higher than receipts and council declined to raise trash rates at this time. Council recorded intent to apply for a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) to fund sidewalk improvements on Main Street and 4th Street.
Staff reported an error in recording two lead-and-copper testing sites that has since been corrected; the corrected report requires that the city send a formal notification letter to residents. The council approved the treasurer’s report with a recorded vote of 5‑0. No dollar amounts for the sidewalk project or a schedule for the notification were provided in the minutes.
