Excerpted From Minutes
Mayor Neil Blankenship told Grantsville Council members the proposal they are
voting upon asks for a 10% increase in water rates and a 15% increase in
sewage rates. A first reading of the proposal was passed by council.
Last week's council meeting was continued from the monthly meeting.
After discussion about increasing the rate for trash pick-up, the issue was put on
hold.
Steve Whited, CFO of Minnie Hamilton Health Care Center told council the
proposed trash rates were inconsistent, indicating the center was charged for
service at three places, but their trash was placed in a dumpster.
Nancy Bremar asked if there was a written rule that the town trash service would
pick up only five bags of trash a week.
Gaylen Duskey expressed concern that town water was being sold very cheaply
to out-of-town residents at a fill-up station, but metered customers in the town
are required to pay much more. He was advised that the water station water was
not potable.
Stephanie Curry questioned why the town's dumpster rates were not consistent.
Mayor Blankenship said it had to do with different tonnage and frequency of
pick-up. Curry said Waste Management had consistent rates.
David Trippett has been hired as swimming pool manager for the summer. Other
issues concerning the operation of the pool were discussed.
Officials present, Mayor Blankenship, recorder Phyllis Maze, council members,
Stevens, Whipkey, Stevens and Smith.
