On Friday, City Attorney John Hessel informed City Council President Keith English that an ordinance must be passed to lower the tax to $28. On Wednesday, the council passed an action, 5-4, to lower it.

“If an ordinance is needed, I don’t know if it would be possible to pass,” English said in a previous interview about the sewer later fund.
