DECISIONS, DECISIONS

The City Council will hear two different options tonight concerning the sewer rate increase.

  • Plan 1 calls for an increase of 18% now and 17-21% in 2012. This plan uses $700,000.00 from EDIT and Riverboat funds for the next 20 years.
  • Plan 2 calls for an increase of 23% now and 20% in 2012 and does not include the $700,000.00 from EDIT and Riverboat.

Mayor England first supported Plan 1 but changed his mind when he realized that EDIT and Riverboat might be needed to complete the Greenway project and the new Little League Complex.

I have expressed many times that I don't want to tie up EDIT for 20 years so I'm not in favor of either of these plans. We'll just have to wait and see what the council decides.

The Sewer meeting begins at 4:30 and the Council workshop begins at 6:00.

UPDATE: DANIEL SUDDEATH SAID THE SEWER MEETING HAS BEEN CANCELLED.
