Council adopts municipal wastewater planning program, asks for population correction

Staff presented the city’s annual municipal wastewater planning program — a 39‑page report condensed with AI assistance for readability — and described its role in documenting operator certification, financial structure, and capital‑improvement priorities. Councilors asked about potential regulatory red flags; staff said while a population figure needed correction, there were no immediate compliance crises expected.

Council moved and seconded adoption of the wastewater planning program and clarified the staff should correct the population number before final filing. The measure passed on roll call vote. Staff will finalize the report and address the population correction before submission to the reviewing agency.
