Summary
On first reading the council approved proposed increases to gas, water, sewer and stormwater fees, advanced a FY2026–27 Morehead Utility Plant Board budget ordinance and approved an updated municipal ethics code (Title III, Chapter 40).
The Board of City Council approved first readings for multiple ordinances concerning public utilities: changes to Chapter 51 (Gas and Water), Chapter 53 (Sewer), and Chapter 55 (Storm Water) to increase rates, charges and fees. The motions were recorded as passing on first reading with council members voting yes.
Council also approved on first reading an ordinance adopting the Morehead Utility Plant Board budget for FY2026–27 and an amendment to the City Code establishing an updated ethics code applicable to city officers and employees (Title III, Chapter 40). The minutes record the first‑reading approvals but do not include rate schedules or detailed ethics code language in the public text; those documents are part of the ordinance files.
