Summary

Staff described a proposed contract to extend the public sanitary sewer to the Decatur Recreation Center and a state right-of-way permit to install a water tap; staff said the city would be the developer on the sewer work and that the work requires a state permit (form MB05).

City staff briefed the Decatur City Council on a proposed contract to extend a public sanitary sewer line to the Decatur Recreation Center and on a related state right-of-way permit to install a water tap to the new facility.

"Yeah, at our recreation center we're doing a sewer extension, and this is just a contract between us, the developer, and the Katy Utilities, for that sewer line," said Carl, a staff member. When asked whether the city or a private developer was the developer in the contract, Carl replied, "We are the developer in this."

The sewer contract appears on the agenda as Resolution No. 25148, described as "approve DU City of Decatur contract for extension of public sanitary sewer system." The work session also listed Resolution No. 25149, "approve agreement form MB05, right of way for Decatur Recreation Center," described in the briefing as a permit application to do work in the state right-of-way and to add a water tap and run it to the new building.

Staff presented the items in the work session and answered brief clarifying questions; the transcript does not record a formal council vote on those agenda resolutions during the work session. City staff said they would move forward with the necessary permitting and contracting steps and bring final documents and any required council approvals back to a future meeting.
