City staff flags lift‑station invoice, discusses developer‑ready designs and follow‑up with public‑works staff
Summary
Hooper City staff raised an outstanding invoice for lift‑station client services during the Nov. 6 work session and discussed whether the city should require its own lift‑station design standard rather than accept generic developer 'show‑ready' designs.
Hooper City staff raised an outstanding invoice for lift‑station client services at the Nov. 6 work session and asked the council for direction on next steps. The invoice relates to client services performed in 2022 and was noted as rescheduled to Oct. 12, 2023; staff asked to coordinate payment timing with public‑works staff member Jared.
Council members and staff also discussed whether the city should require its own lift‑station design standard instead of allowing developers to use a generic "show‑ready" lift‑station design that can be reused across projects. Staff said requiring a city design would ensure stations built to city preferences rather than allowing developers to install a generic design and later transfer ownership to the city.
Staff recommended checking with Jared for full documentation and presenting additional information at the next work meeting or the December meeting so the council could decide on payment and any design‑standards direction. This item was informational; no formal action was taken.
