Summary
Council adopted Resolution 3-25 to express intent to negotiate with Monroe Township trustees regarding potential acquisition of the Country Estates Water and Sewer District; the resolution is nonbinding and any transfer would return to council for final approval.
Tipp City Council on Feb. 3 adopted Resolution 3-25 expressing the city's intent to negotiate with the Monroe Township trustees about a potential acquisition of the Country Estates Water and Sewer District.
City staff told the council the measure is nonbinding and intended to provide Monroe Township comfort to begin formal negotiations, engage attorneys and prepare contract documents. Staff and council members said the matter has been discussed at past study sessions. One council member said they remained hesitant and would need additional facts before agreeing to a final transfer; staff confirmed any acquisition would return to the council for final approval before ownership could change.
Council members voted to approve the authorization to negotiate. The resolution does not commit the city to purchase; it authorizes the city manager to take preliminary steps and negotiate terms with Monroe Township trustees.
