The Iowa City city councilors will vote Tuesday on the first consideration of an ordinance increasing storm-water utility fees.

The increase, as proposed in the city’s fiscal 2013 budget, would be the second since the Public Works Department established the fee in June 2004.

If approved, single family residential units would see a 50-cent increase per month, and multifamily units would see a 25-cent increase.

A public hearing will be held during Tuesday’s meeting.
