Council approves three meeting records

Greeley advances proposed $2.2 million in sewer spending, 7-0; Greeley council advances 2027 budget with proposed 11.274-mill tax levy, 7-0; Greeley corrects firefighter pay tables showing 4% yearly raises, 7-0; 4 consent items adopted, 7-0; 2 consent items passed on first reading, 7-0.

The amendment includes $441,000 to design a lift station and force main for the John Law Basin. A public hearing and second reading are set for Nov. 17.

The proposal reduces staffing by 67.75 full-time-equivalent positions and leaves a $4.2 million General Fund gap. A public hearing and second reading are scheduled for Nov. 17.

The corrected schedules take effect Jan. 1 and Dec. 30, 2027, replacing old hourly tables in the agreement’s appendices with rates calculated from annual salaries.

The proposed $12,631.57 charge would come due when each property connects to city sewer, alongside a separate tap fee. The delay leaves time for staff to meet with property owners.

For undeveloped parcels, payment is due at final plat approval or when owners request a connection, whichever comes first; unpaid balances accrue 4.7% annual interest. Annexation and city requirements also apply.
