City Manager Paul Grohman stated that he is really proud and staff deserves a lot of
credit for their work on this grant. The grant does require matching funds. This would be
for a water line for raw water from west of highway 288 back to town. This would relieve
the usage of ground water and help the subsidence. This would be a totally looped
system. There was discussion regarding the increasing of water and sewer fees. Mr.
Grohman stated that we have to get off of ground water and use more surface water. He
further stated that there is approximately a five percent increase budgeted over the next
few years to prevent from having "rate shock." Impact fees will pay for the majority of
funding, and every three years we review the impact fees. City Manager Grohman said
that we may be asked to pledge certificates of obligation against some of the debt. He
further stated that we should let the growth pay for itself.
