25-1137 : Wyatt - Resolution Requesting a Detailed Financial Report from BSA

This resolution, sponsored by Council Member Rasheed N.C. Wyatt, requests a detailed financial report from the Buffalo Sewer Authority (BSA). The Common Council and city residents require a clearer understanding of BSA's financial standing due to potential rate increases and the sustainability of customer assistance programs. The resolution specifically asks for:

• The number of households currently benefiting from BSA's senior and low-income discount programs.
• A clear breakdown of the proposed rate increase and its average impact on residents' sewer bills.
• BSA's contingency plan for potential reductions or elimination of federal funding for discount programs, and strategies to address funding gaps without unduly burdening ratepayers.

The City Clerk is directed to submit this resolution to the BSA's Executive Director and board, requesting their appearance before the Council to provide this information.
