OGALLALA, Neb. — The Ogallala City Council will meet Monday night at 7 p.m. in the council chambers to discuss a range of issues, including a proposed change to the city’s sewer disposal fee schedule and proclamations recognizing Police Week and EMS Week.
The council is expected to appoint Brady Caskey to the Community Redevelopment Authority. The public forum will include formal proclamations honoring local law enforcement officers and emergency medical service providers for their service to the community.
One of the main items on the agenda is an update on the city’s sewer and wastewater operations. Council members will review a proposed amendment to the Sewer Disposal Contractors Special Fee Schedule. The revision would establish a minimum charge of $80 for up to the first 1,000 gallons of liquid sewage delivered to the wastewater treatment plant. An additional $80 would be charged for every 1,000 gallons or partial amount thereafter.
City officials said the charges would be based on the size of the unloading tank, as the system is not currently equipped with a flow meter at the intake manhole.
City Manager Kevin Wilkens is also scheduled to provide updates on ongoing city projects.
