CONSIDERATION OF INTERIM WATER RATE FOR THE BROOKFIELD/BRIARWOOD AREA
Chairman Greer reported that the Water and Sewer District was in the process of assuming ownership, operation
and maintenance of the existing Brookfield/Brierwood water system relinquished by the former owner. Since there are
no water meters in place and the District does not have a flat water rate in the County Code of Ordinances, a temporary
rate will have to be established.
Chairman Greer advised that the existing rate under the old system is $14.92 per month and stated that Staff has
recommended maintaining the same rate until the water and sewer system has been completed with all meters installed.
Chairman Greer asked if any member of the District Board would like to comment.
Hearing no comments, Chairman Greer called for motion.
Motion:
District Commissioner Caster MOVED, SECONDED by District Commissioner Boseman, to establish a
temporary rate of $14.92 per month ($29.84 bi-monthly) for the residents of Brookfield/ Briarwood area until the water
and sewer system is completed and meters have been installed. Upon vote, the MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
ADJOURNMENT
Chairman Greer called for a motion to adjourn the meeting.
Motion:
District Commissioner Boseman MOVED, SECONDED by District Commissioner Caster, to adjourn. Upon vote,
the MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
