Developer asks council to waive tap fees for new homes; council requests more information
Summary
Community Ventures asked the council to waive tap fees for homes in the Houston Water and Seward District; council members said stipulations and infrastructure needs must be clarified and did not take final action.
Community Ventures requested that the Hickman City Council waive tap fees for homes to be constructed in the Houston Water and Seward District. Council members discussed whether a municipal order could be used to grant a waiver and emphasized the need to clarify the scope of any waiver, the infrastructure required, and how sewer and utility lines would connect to the system.
During the discussion, an official summarized the item as "just the tap fee," and members said they needed to meet with developers and contractors to identify required infrastructure and any stipulations before making a final decision. The council asked staff to coordinate with developers and return with more specific measures and costs.
No vote or final outcome on the waiver was recorded in the meeting transcript; the matter remains under review pending a staff report and meetings with the developer.
