Seminole bodies approve water agreement with Tri County Rural Water

The City of Seminole and, separately, the Seminole Municipal Authority approved a water-service agreement with Tri County Rural Water (referred to in the record as Tri County Water and Tri County Rural Water).

Councilmembers moved and seconded motions to accept the agreement; each motion passed on unanimous roll call. The transcript records the clerk calling the roll and every listed councilmember voting "yes." No contract terms, service areas, rates, or fiscal attachments were read into the public record in the provided transcript.

Why it matters: Approving a rural-water agreement could affect water supply, service responsibility and future billing or infrastructure obligations for residents served by the City of Seminole or the Municipal Authority. The transcript, however, does not include the agreement document, rate schedules, effective date, or whether the city or authority must take further steps for implementation.

The council roll calls recorded the following votes: Trace Connor — yes; Dana Miller — yes; Larry Church — yes; Scott Rossman — yes; Chris Anson/Hansen — yes; Jolene Desette — yes; Jeff Nance — yes; John Kramer — yes. The transcript includes multiple motions on the record to accept the Tri County agreement: one by the City Council and one by the Seminole Municipal Authority; both were announced as "Motion passes." There was a brief procedural note in the record that the Municipal Authority would take action after an executive session.

No public comment about the water agreement or presentations from Tri County staff appear in the provided transcript. The record does not identify specific changes to service lines, customer classes, or budgetary funding sources tied to the agreement.
