City Commission adopts $15000 water department charge
The city approved a third reading of an ordinance charging $15,000 against the Water Works Department and transferring that amount to the general fund. Officials debated the accounting as a potential campaign issue while noting the practice resembles a franchise tax and noting state auditor approval. The measure will be paid in 12 equal monthly installments from the water fund.
