The Stockbridge City Council voted at its Feb. 22 workshop meeting to approve an increase of $50,000 in its annual contract for on-call water/sewer emergency and operational repair/maintenance and construction services.

According to reports, city staff have noticed a substantial increase in materials and related costs due to COVID and wanted to ensure sufficient funding was available for stormwater repair projects.

Also approved was a boost in funding for annual landscaping services for government buildings as well as the city’s amphitheater.

The cost for these services is going up from $300,000 in 2021 to $375,000 this year.
