City to Ask More From W and L Plant
City officials debated a proposed sewage maintenance fee during a long session and agreed to approach the Water and Light Plant Commission for more funds. The council approved a $210,374 budget, about $39,000 above current revenues, and voted a general trash fee increase aiming to raise roughly $20,000 more, leaving a $17,009 gap to balance. Some members opposed the sewage fee as too steep, arguing revenue declines from the plant should be phased in. A maintenance and service charge structure was discussed, based on 50 percent of the lowest three months’ water bill, but action stalled amid public objections. The panel also approved continued county health fees and a standard payment to Dr. Batik.
