The Council discussed the proposed city budget, with specific focus on water and sewer rate increases. Members debated the necessity of an 8% to 11% increase in rates versus the need for more data and analysis before final approval. Concerns were raised regarding the potential financial burden on low-usage tier customers, and the possibility of adjusting rate tiers or implementing conservation credits was explored. The Council also reviewed the status of water infrastructure projects and the upcoming utility billing audit presentation.
