SEWER LATERAL ISSUE ON AUGUST 3rd BALLOT

The City Council of the City of Black Jack recently approved a ballot issue to change the wording of the current Sewer Lateral fee. If approved, the fee cannot be more than what is currently charged, but can be adjusted by the City Council to a lower yearly fee.

Black Jack, MO, June 23, 2010: The Black Jack City Council has approved the placement of the 2010 Sewer Lateral issue on the August 3rd Ballot. The Proposition, if approved by the voters, will give the City Council the ability to have flexibility in adjusting the yearly sewer lateral rate. The current yearly rate is $28.00. The ballot measure, if approved by the voters, will still cap the rate at $28.00, but will give the City Council the flexibility to assess a rate between $0.00 and $28.00. Mayor Norman McCourt said, "This change will allow taxpayers to keep funds that are not currently needed by the city to support the program".
