Motion to Approve Ordinance 2026-001 Amending Chapter 10 — Utilities, Section 1000 —Water, Subsection 1000.20—Rates and Charges and Authorize Publication of Summary Ordinance Councilmember Holden stated she has heard from residents that their meters are not reading correctly. She reported nowhere in the Ordinance is this scenario addressed. She asked how the City was going to address this concern. City Administrator Jagoe reported she would have to review the fee schedule regarding testing on meters. She commented the 2026 fee schedule does have a call out rate for after hours, which would allow for the testing to be added to a utility bill. Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen explained the fee schedule was very clear on how the City charged for testing water meters. Councilmember Holden suggested language be included in Section 1000 that states if a resident believes their water meter isn't working and the City had to test the meter,there would be a charge for it.
