3 issues with critical priority
City takeover/integration of FEDC functions
The council created a new Planning and Economic Development Department and clarified the city-FEDC relationship. FEDC board members and vendors packed the room opposing it, alleging Open Meetings Act violations, financial transparency gaps, and unlawful authority claims by the city manager.
FY 2027 draft budget
The roughly $23.5 million budget across all funds passed 3-2, tied to the new fee schedule revenues. Expect higher costs for city services this year.
Water and sewer rate increase reversal
Residents saw bills double or quadruple after an August rate restructuring that cut the base water allowance from 3,000 gallons to 1,000 and charged sewer on total metered water. The council voted 5-0 to reverse to the old rates through December 31, with credits or recalculated bills, and plans to develop a longer-term fix by January.
