The Grant City Council, at its regular meeting Wednesday, voted to increase water rates by 11.11%. This reflects the increase from Nodaway County. This rate increase will affect Parnell as well as the Rural Water District. The city will discuss a gas rate increase at the September meeting.
The council also voted to increase gravel purchases from $55.05 to $70, since the cost of gravel purchases for the city has gone up by 20% for this year.
Lizzie Jeanes and Debbie Roach attended Great Northwest Days, and the city was second place for the booth they set up out of 19 booths.
The city will serve papers on property owners with properties the city says are in violation of city ordinances. If they cannot be served, the city will publicize the hearing. A hearing date has been tentatively set for 5:45 before the regular April meeting.
Ryan Fletchall was not present, but left a report. Nitrogen has been a bit high on the water samples, but he said it was probably because of the cold and the ponds being frozen over. There was a water line break on 5th and Front Streets on February 6th that crews had to work through the night to get fixed. It turned out that the icicle on the water tower is not a leak. The city is in the process of creating physical maps for all the water and sewer lines in town.
Carl Staton was not present, but left a report for the city. He helped with water leaks, pushed snow, and is working on his online gas classes. He submitted a proposal for a new gas truck.
Tyson Troutwine reported that the city got permission from two landowners to cut brush where the water main crosses so the city can access it in event of a leak.
The city voted to donate $100 to the Worth County After-Prom. The dues from the Northwest Missouri Regional Council based on the 2020 census will be $457.52. The auditor will be in Grant City on March 12th and 13th to do the 2024 audit.
