The agenda schedules public hearings on Proposed Ordinance 22-06 (to increase monthly water and sewer consumption rates by 8% per year for five fiscal years starting July 1, 2022) and Proposed Ordinance 22-07 (to adopt the FY2023 general budget, set a constant-yield tax rate of $0.2217 per $100 of assessed real property and a .55 per $100 tax on commercial/business personal property and public utilities, and adopt an enterprise budget for water and sewer that includes the same 8% rate increases). A guest item is listed for Paul Cain regarding parking of trucks in Town Center. The agenda also lists committee reports, clerk and manager items, a detailed set of ongoing infrastructure, marine, policy and development projects (including a new water tower, I&I project, Wall St. water work, boat ramp and dredging, and Wheatland’s project), and provides for attorney updates, public comment and a possible closed session.
