Wyoming Area ReporterBy a vote of 4-0 Monday night, Wyoming City Council passed a resolution affirming the cityís intent to join the Chisago Lakes Joint Sewage Commission.
This is in the cityís best interest but also puts the commission in a better position to petition the MPCA for a process that will reduce operating expenses, city officials said Monday night.
Timing is important for the commission to go ahead with its negotiations with the MPCA, the city said.
