Highlights from Luttrell City Council’s January Meeting

LUTTRELL CITY HALL — Progress pushes forward at the City of Lutrell’s first meeting of the new year.

Water and Sewer

Relief is on the way for some Luttrell residents. In its January meeting, city council approved an amendment that would change the current sewer ordinance to stop the billing of those residents who do not have a sewer pump or tank installed on their property or do not have sewer service. However, if a resident has a pump or tank installed, but are not using the service, they will still be required to pay a monthly charge.

The ordinance passed its first reading and is scheduled to have its second reading at the February meeting. If it passes its second reading, residents that do not have a sewer pump or tank installed on their property should receive some welcome relief from the Luttrell Utility Department.

Paving Projects

The City of Luttrell, gave the go ahead on a scheduled paving project that encompasses many streets and areas in the city.

The project, previously discussed and bid out to Chief Paving, will start as soon as the weather allows.
The proposal to go ahead and start the project when the weather allows was made by Councilman Angela Cureton and seconded by Councilman Tyler Ruth.

Insurance

A motion was made by Councilman Leon Kitts, to approve the second reading of an ordinance to increase funds in the General and Sewer Funds in order to pay for an increase in the city’s insurance premiums. It was seconded by Councilman Paul Hurst. The ordinance passed unanimously.
