The Centralia City Council Monday night will be asked to approve new water sales agreements with the Village of Hoffman and Hoyleton Rural Water Company.
City Manager Kory Smith says the rate effective July 1st for both water systems will increase from $2.60 to $4.10 per thousand gallons of water. There will be a yearly adjustment for the annual rate of inflation through the end of the contract at the end of 2029. The agreements will require both water companies to purchase 75 percent of their water from the city of Centralia.
Smith says the contracts are among the nine the city has with satellite water systems. The terms are similar to the contracts with Raccoon Water Company and Irvington that were approved last year.
The council will also be asked to approve a resolution to continue the school resource officer program at Centralia High School for another four years. The cost to Centralia High School will drop from $11,441 per month to $9,466 per month following an evaluation of the current costs incurred. The Centralia High School Board already approved the agreement. It is similar to the four-year agreement already made with the Centralia City Schools.
The council will be asked to accept a $1,512 donation from the Centralia American Legion to replace the roof on the American Legion Pavilion in Fairview Park. The donation will pay for the materials, with the installation to be completed by city staff. The roof will coordinate with the red, white, and blue color scheme that already exists.
The meeting begins at six Monday night at Centralia City Hall.
