Special‑assessment water project complete; board debates use of leftover funds for local roads
Summary
Staff said the special‑assessment water project is complete and identified roughly $100,000 left in project funds; commissioners discussed using the leftover money to repair West Village roads damaged during construction but noted assessment rules and funder approval would be required.
Commissioners were briefed that work on a special‑assessment water project is complete but that one service line and other restoration items need follow‑up.
Staff reported discovery of a service line that still serves a landlocked lot behind the completed project, and members agreed staff should check subdivision easements and the original plans to ensure that property owners are receiving the service they are assessed for. The board asked staff to research access and easement options so residents are not left without service.
Staff noted there is approximately $100,000 remaining from the special‑assessment project. One commissioner suggested using leftover funds to rehabilitate roads in West Village affected by construction. Board members cautioned that special‑assessment money is restricted to assessed property owners and that repurposing funds would require approval from the funding agency; staff agreed to pursue options including using contingency funds or returning unspent amounts to the loan/back end of the financing if no eligible use is found.
Next steps: staff will research easements and options for addressing the landlocked service connection, confirm exact remaining balances with the treasurer, and consult the funding agency about allowable uses of leftover project funds.
