After discussion, commission agrees to share up to $30,000 of TriStates Highway 18 sewer boring cost; contract to follow
Summary
TriState Ready Mix annexed into Canton and requested cost sharing for a sewer crossing under Highway 18. The commission authorized participation up to $30,000 (or 50% if less) for costs specifically tied to the Highway 18 bore, subject to a signed agreement.
TriState Ready Mix asked the city to share part of the cost of boring a sewer line beneath Highway 18 to connect the companys annexed site to city sewer. Staff said the company reported total additional costs of approximately $60,000 for the Highway 18 crossing; TriState asked the city to consider sharing up to half of that expense.
Commissioners discussed options including reimbursing after execution of a written agreement and making any payment contingent on a signed contract. A motion was made to contribute up to $30,000 (or 50% up to $30,000, whichever is less) specifically for the Highway 18 bore costs; the motion specified funds apply only to costs associated with the highway crossing and not to other portions of the project. The motion passed on a roll-call vote. Staff indicated a contract and reimbursement terms would be prepared and brought back to the commission before funds are disbursed.
Commissioners noted TriStates local economic benefits (property tax, utility revenues) and said the company had previously donated materials during a flood response. The transcript shows the motion passed and that staff will draft an agreement before payments are made.
Provenance: Discussion and motion to contribute up to $30,000 toward TriState Ready Mix sewer-boring costs beneath Highway 18; includes motion language and direction to prepare a contract.
