This agenda item states, “Funding is available in various department budgets.” This is for $6.5 million! Water rates were raised earlier this year but the city never mentioned they would try to cover costs by getting funds from other department budgets. Did the city go to the other departments who may not necessarily have anything to do with water and ask them if they would allocate money to cover the cost of the water so there isn’t a hike on the public?
