Regular City Council Meeting <br /> Monday,November 27, 2023 <br /> Page 5 <br /> Ms. Pietrick indicated the City is going to have an update done to the utility rates <br /> study in 2024 but at this point she did not see anything jarring in the sanitary sewer <br /> system. <br /> Councilmember Schroeder pointed out that the sanitary sewer system fund is very <br /> healthy and there are some reserves built up in that fund already and for this year. <br /> She did not think there would be an issue if it were to stay at zero for an increase. <br /> Councilmember Etten explained for that reason he would generally support the zero <br /> percent in this area because he believed that fund is more than healthy, and the City <br /> probably would not need to do a tag on increase for the 2025 budget because it is <br /> so far in the black. <br /> Councilmember Groff explained he would also support the zero percent increase <br /> for those reasons but also because the City is going to have another update in 2024 <br /> by Ehlers on this and will give the City more information. <br /> Mayor Roe thought the general consensus of the Council was to move forward with <br /> a zero percent increase for the sewer charges. Mayor Roe thanked staff for the <br /> information and the input by staff. <br /> b. Public Hearing to Consider Approving Liquor License Renewals for 2024 <br /> City Manager Patrick Trudgeon briefly highlighted this item as detailed in the <br /> Request for Council Action and related attachments dated November 27, 2023. <br /> Mayor Roe reviewed public hearing protocol and opened and closed the public <br /> hearing at approximately 7:00 p.m. for the purpose of receiving public input on the <br /> above-referenced liquor license renewals for 2024; with no one appearing for or <br /> against. <br /> Etten moved, Groff seconded, to approve the renewal of the requested liquor <br /> licenses for 2024, upon receipt of all outstanding application materials and <br /> payments. <br /> Roll Call <br /> Ayes: Etten, Groff, Strahan, Schroeder, and Roe. <br /> Nays: None. <br /> c.
