Aug 19, 202630 min
Mayor Brandon Kelliher joins Allison Peck to recap Tuesday night's North Platte City Council meeting. Kelliher explains a proposed five-year utility rate increase that could mean about $9.50 more per month for the average household, why the city's combined levy is expected to decrease, and how the city is approaching aging water and electrical infrastructure. He also breaks down the proposed new rules for e-bikes and e-scooters, including the 25-mile-per-hour threshold, sidewalk safety, parental responsibility and how enforcement will work if the ordinance passes. Plus, an update on the electrical utilities building, Deep Waters annexation and the Cody Park pool project.
