The Village of Ada held its January 21 meeting in the expansive meeting room of Community Health Professionals at 1200 S. Main, hoping for a larger than usual number of attendees because the subject of raising Village utility rates was on the agenda. With temperatures hovering around zero that evening, there were seven total guests in person and on Zoom, including media.
PROPOSED UTILITY RATE INCREASES
Visitors asked questions about four proposed ordinances that would provide for water, sanitary sewer and storm water rate increases to cover anticipated operating expenses, capital improvements and debt payments.
The Village of Ada will hold the January 21 regular council meeting at 6:30 p.m. at 1200 S. Main St. (Community Health Professionals building). The change in venue is to accomodate the public.
The Village will attempt to broadcast this meeting live via Zoom HERE. Residents are encouraged to attend the meeting in person.
