Summary

The council’s attorney reported the city previously approved a resolution authorizing a joint petition with a regional water authority and county commission and recommended coordination for filing; no new vote was recorded at this meeting.

The council’s attorney, Martin Randy, told the Alexander City Council that the body passed a resolution last week authorizing the city to enter a joint petition with the Hackmore Water Authority and the Tappos County Commission, as stated in the transcript. He said the petition was signed following a Nov. 24 water‑court session and that representatives are expected to appear on Jan. 12.

Randy said the next steps are administrative: city staff and the mayor should sign and file documents and coordinate with the public works office to resolve questions about costs, delivery and building methods. He mentioned that Romey and the public works department will work on cost and delivery details and suggested the mayor might want to attend the upcoming hearing.

No formal vote on the petition was recorded during this meeting; the attorney presented the prior resolution as background and asked the mayor and staff to complete the filing process. The council did not take additional formal action on the item at this session.

Officials and staff will likely follow up with the water authority’s representatives at the January appearance; the transcript does not specify which department will serve as the final signatory or any binding timetable for construction or delivery decisions.
