El Campo City Council will decide Monday whether to replace a 1942 Public Works building with a new $3.5 million facility, which would require a tax rate hike of one cent. The issue stalled during summer budget talks but is back on the table with no staff recommendation. If approved, funding would come from a non-voter-approved bond. Also up for discussion is a $1.6 million wastewater plant upgrade, which would raise utility rates instead of taxes. Last year, utility bills rose twice due to major sewer collapses. The meeting is at 6 p.m. Monday at City Hall and streamed online.
