City issues RFQ on sewage options after receiving ~$180,000 Springfield bill
Summary
Staff said the city issued an RFQ to explore sewage‑treatment options and noted a recent invoice from Springfield for about $180,000; staff said documents and landowner outreach could lead to next steps and possible outside assistance.
Speaker 1 (unidentified speaker) updated the board on wastewater planning and a new RFQ aimed at identifying opportunities to reduce treatment costs or generate revenue from sewage operations.
Staff said the RFQ is intended to focus the city’s approach to sewage challenges and noted there may already be existing plans or approaches that staff can adapt. Speaker 1 reported the city recently received an invoice from Springfield for roughly $180,000 related to sewage charges and described the amount as "a staggering cost" that may prompt additional action.
Staff said they will review the plans, coordinate with staff (Trevor and Justin were mentioned in the discussion), and consider securing external assistance to accelerate design and bid readiness for anticipated projects. No formal contract award or detailed scope was announced at the meeting.
