OPEN FLOOR
During the public comment opportunity, Ada resident Kevin Wagner presented his ideas on providing water for a single flat rate for commercial and residential customers. He said, “We should take care of people first. Residents are paying for businesses’ water.” Council and legal counsel Jane Napier discussed infrastructure costs. Wagner also raised the subject of a Zoning ordinance that prohibits alcohol sales within a certain distance of churches and schools. Napier responded that state authority has superseded local ordinances since 2021 but that “laws change all the time,” so the ordinance will stay on the books.
