Huntsville to contribute up to $121,000 toward Christmas Village waterline upsize
Summary
The council authorized the city manager to negotiate a public improvement agreement with Christmas Village to share up to $121,000 for upsizing a waterline from 8 inches to 12 inches; execution is contingent on approved construction drawings and city attorney review.
The Huntsville City Council on May 6 authorized the city manager and staff to pursue a public improvement agreement with the Christmas Village development that would allow the city to participate in waterline upsizing costs in an amount not to exceed $121,000.
Under the action, the developer will construct the work and the city’s contribution will cover the incremental cost to upsize an existing 8‑inch waterline to a 12‑inch main in the southeast area of town. The authorization to execute the agreement is contingent on receipt of approved construction drawings and review and approval by the city attorney, per the motion recorded in the meeting.
Council discussion described the project as a relatively small investment to provide increased water capacity for future growth in that area. No formal amendments or public objections were recorded in the transcript, and the motion passed by unanimous voice vote.
The agreement directs city staff and the city manager to complete the interlocal/contract documents and return any required approvals to council as needed.
