Date Prepared:  12/29/2025 Council Meeting Date: 1/13/2026

PRESENTER:
David Burks, Water Services Director 
TO:Mike Faust, City Manager 
THROUGH:
Kevin Burke, Deputy City Manager 
FROM:  David Burks, Water Services Director 
SUBJECT:
Code Amendment, Chapters 2, 7, 9, 13, 14, 18, 24, and 25, Water Services 

Purpose:

Discussion and possible action to adopt ORD. 2026–01 amending Chapters 2, 7, 9, 13, 14, 18, 24, 25 of the Peoria City Code pertaining to the Water Services Department.

Summary:

A proposed code amendment to adopt ORD. 2026-01, which amends Chapters 2, 7, 9, 13, 14, 18, 24, and 25 of the Peoria City Code relating to the Water Services Department.

 

The Water Services Department was established in 2019 but has not yet been formally recognized in the City Code. This ordinance updates the Code to officially establish the department. In addition, references in these chapters currently identify the “Public Works – Utilities Director.” Since that position no longer exists, the ordinance revises the language to reflect the Water Services Department exclusively.

Staff Recommendation:

Adopt ORD. 2026-01, amending Chapters 25, 2, 7, 9, 13, 14, 18, and 24 of the Peoria City Code, and ratifying and confirming updates related to the Water Services Department.
