The recommendation would temporarily raise the sewer rate to 10% for one fiscal year instead of the already planned 7% increase. The change is intended to help fund wastewater treatment plant improvements, but final approval rests with the City Council. The committee also recommended engineering contracts for the 2026 street program at $98,605 and the sewer lining project at $53,500, allowing those projects to move toward bidding.
