City council weighs sewer and park funding plans
The council discussed electric rate breaks for about 100 users, a higher sewer charge for non-residential customers, and maintaining a $4.50 minimum residential rate. A Gilbert Park expansion plan to secure federal grants was reviewed, with a $679,507 project cost and a $373,000 city share possible. Critics called the plan a waste of money, and no vote was taken as a committee was formed to study further. A traffic curfew and parking enforcement plan was proposed with escalating penalties up to $100 for six violations in a month.
