City Council Meetings

MOSES LAKE CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL MEETING November 18, 2025 The special meeting of the Moses Lake City Council was called to order at 4:05 p.m. by Mayor Swartz in the Civic Center Council Chambers. #1 Joint Workshop with Grant County Public Utility District Commissioners Port of Moses Lake staff and Commissioners reported on limited resources, future transmission line work, and new carbon energy. City of Moses Lake staff and Council reported on local legislative priorities, property taxes, and other budget challenges. #2 Water Utility Rates Continued Discussion Finance Director Madeline Prentice and Utility Services Manager Jessica Cole advised Council that the consultant hired to conduct the cost-of-service study for water rates has not provided alternative rate design models options for Council’s consideration. City staff are recommending a 2.7% CPI increase for all tiers and customer classes on the 2026 Fee Schedule and will continue working with the consultant to evaluate alternative rate design models, as well as assessing the financial impacts to present to Council for their consideration in the first quarter of 2026. The goal is to adopt new rates ahead of the next irrigation season. Council concurred to have recommended increase on water rates on the 2026 Fee Schedule for adoption at the regular Council meeting on December 9, reduce the fixed meter charge for duplex customers to be in alignment with the single-family residential fixed meter charge, and eliminate the excess use charge (EUC) for residential and irrigation customer classes. The meeting adjourned at 6:00 p.m. ______________________________________ Dustin Swartz, Mayor ATTEST____________________________ Debbie Burke, City Clerk Document Ref: ZGU3Y-B8PIJ-HKBEU-GXMO8 Page 1 of 1 REF.
