Interlaken council reviews road-repair cost shares, invoices from Midway Sewer District

Council members reviewed final tallies for a recent road repair and follow-up shared-expense invoices at the Interlaken Town Council meeting on Feb. 4, 2025.

The town’s presenter described a spreadsheet that allocated the road costs among contributors based on the percentage of shared road square footage and number of lots. The presenter said Bergie Hill Ranch’s (BHR) calculated share for the shared portion is $12,777. The presenter said the reserves calculation for BHR was handled differently: in addition to the small contributed share, the reserves were billed for the full cost of a lower section of road identified as belonging to the reserves, producing a larger total billed amount for that party.

Midway Sewer District also billed the town for replacement of 12 concrete manhole frames, a payment the presenter said totaled $5,940. The presenter said those amounts had been invoiced but that the town had not yet received all the money.

Council members asked about other smaller work invoices, including shoulder clearing and snow removal. The presenter provided shoulder-clearing numbers of $1,203 for BHR and $240 for the reserves. The presenter said snow-removal-related charges included approximately $12,000 billed to BHR; combined with other items this produced roughly an additional $15,160 expected to be collected.

Councilors asked whether there remained unpaid bills; the presenter said additional invoices for snow removal and brush clearing had not yet been sent. No formal motion or vote on collection procedure or billing adjustments was recorded during the discussion.

The report closed with the presenter saying everyone who had communicated with staff was on board with paying their billed shares, and an invitation for questions from council members.
