Budgets, reserves and taxes
Enterprise council tabled a sewer-fee cut in May, then voted 4-1 on a $42 sewer rate in June
At a May 27 meeting, Enterprise council members discussed lowering the monthly sewer fee because the last sewer bond payment was about to be paid. They tabled the proposal so the city administrator could check the budget. The city's fiscal 2027 budget report has no sewer debt-service line. Update: the June 10 minutes record a 4-1 voice vote approving Resolution 2026-008 with a $42 sewer rate.
