Summary

Frederick Town trustees approved an amendment to the Memorandum of Agreement for Public Improvements (MOAPI) for the Wildflower subdivision to separate obligations triggered by United Power's planned commercial development (battery storage); staff said the change does not affect the town’s budget.

Town staff presented the Wildflower Subdivision First MOAPI Amendment, explaining that United Power's planned development within the commercial portion of the subdivision triggers the need for a hydrant and an extension of the water line. Because only a single commercial parcel is moving forward, staff recommended separating United Power's obligations from the master MOAPI for the whole subdivision.

Staff said the amendment was negotiated with referral agencies, the fire district and the original developer; it captures required public improvements related to the United Power parcel and does not alter town utility ownership or the town budget. Staff characterized the development as a potential battery storage site intended to improve system reliability and affordability for the local electric grid.

Mayor Pro Tem Brown moved to approve resolution 25 R 16 adopting the MOAPI amendment; the board approved the resolution 5–0.

Staff said the amendment clarifies obligations tied to the specific parcel and will be recorded with development approvals as needed.
