Former mayor urges town to pursue greater efficiency before increasing rates

A former mayor, councilman and town employee urged members of the Greybull Town Council on Monday night to pursue greater operational efficiency before asking town residents to pay more for their sewer and sanitation services.
The appropriateness of the rates that support the town’s three primary enterprise funds came up at the October meeting, which ended with the council contemplating an 18-percent hike in its sewer rate and a 3-percent increase in its sanitation rate.  
James Seckman, the CPA who audited the town’s books for the fiscal year that ended in June, recommended increases of some kind in those two rates.
Bob Graham isn’t convinced that’s the case — particularly when it comes to sanitation.
