The council reviewed utility rate schedules proposed by a third-party consultant for a five-year plan, specifically focusing on water and wastewater fees. Discussions centered on two options for rate structures, with staff recommending the option that includes funding for maintenance and equipment upgrades to ensure the utility fund's long-term sustainability. The meeting also addressed the need to distinguish between rate payers and taxpayers, the importance of treating the utility fund as an enterprise fund, and the necessity of proactive infrastructure planning to avoid deferring maintenance costs.
