Siletz meeting summaries, agendas, and minutes

Siletz roundup: FY2027 water and sewer rate resolutions, plus a transitional living center hearing

Siletz water and sewer charges are set to change beginning November 1, 2026, under two resolutions listed in city records for the October 14 council meeting. The supplied summary states the council adopted Resolution 775-26 (water rates) and Resolution 776-26 (sewer rates). Minutes for that meeting have not been published, so no vote tally is available in the records provided. Both resolutions also appear on the council's October 26 agenda.

Water rates for Fiscal Year 2027

Resolution 775-26 sets water service and connection charges for residential, commercial, and washateria services, as well as special contracts. Figures listed in the record:

• Residential basic monthly charge, including the first 1,000 gallons: $46.04
• Residential additional usage charge: $5.58 per 100 gallons
• New connection fee, 5/8" x 3/4" service: $1,000 plus extra installation costs
• New connection fee, 1" meter: $1,250 plus extra installation costs
• Effective date for the rate schedule: November 1, 2026

Sewer rates for Fiscal Year 2027

Resolution 776-26 sets sewer user charges based on a 2024 Rate Study. The summary states the rates are intended to cover the operation, maintenance, and replacement of treatment works. Figures listed in the record:

• Residential and commercial basic monthly charge, including the first 1,000 gallons: $69.74
• Master metered service (more than 5 ERUs): $53.88
• Sewer connection fee: $1,000.00
• Standby charge for shut-off service: $69.74
• Effective date for charges: November 1, 2026

A note on the record

The October 14 summaries describe both resolutions as adopted, while the October 26 agenda lists the same two resolutions as items to establish Fiscal Year 2027 water and sewer rates. The supplied records do not resolve the difference, and no vote counts appear anywhere in them. Residents who need the final figures should consult the official minutes and resolution documents linked from the city's site.

October 12 work session

The text supplied for the October 12 work session contains only website navigation, login, and passkey sign-in material. No ordinances, contracts, public hearings, or other business items appear in it. That absence reflects the supplied text only and is not evidence that no business took place.

Coming up

The Siletz City Council meets October 26. Agenda items listed in the supplied records:

• **Public hearing:** a conditional use permit for a men's transitional living center at 424 Old River Rd. One summary identifies the applicant as CTSI.
• **Resolutions 775-26 and 776-26:** establishing water and sewer rates for Fiscal Year 2027.
• **Introduction of the new school superintendent.**
• **Housekeeping items:** one summary lists LGIP contact registration and wire instructions; the other lists LCHAB IGA-Coordinated Office on Homelessness correspondence.

The two summaries of the October 26 agenda differ on that last item, so the agenda itself is the reliable source for what will be taken up. The hearing on 424 Old River Rd is the item with a scheduled public comment opportunity.

No other meetings appear in the records provided for the next 14 days.
