Council flags hydrant rate increases and a temporary Code Department lease in 2026 budget
Summary
Budget documents include an anticipated increase in hydrant-related costs tied to AQUA's rate changes and a line-item for a building lease to house the Code Department during renovations, both noted by City Manager Robert Fiscus.
The proposed 2026 budget includes line-item adjustments for operational costs. City Manager Robert Fiscus told council that AQUA is increasing hydrant rates next year, which will raise public-works costs tied to fire hydrants. He also pointed to a building lease entry (409-120) to temporarily house the Code Department while renovations are underway.
The items were discussed as anticipated expenditure changes; Council did not adopt any related motions during the Nov. 19 hearing. The fiscal impact in dollars was not specified in the minutes and will be reflected in the full budget document.
