Council adopts policy to decline new city utility service agreements outside city limits
Summary
Brentwood approved a resolution directing staff not to enter into new agreements to provide city utility services outside city limits, while an existing recycled‑water contract remains in effect through 2029; council clarified the contract’s evergreen terms and discussed possible exceptions for county properties.
The Brentwood City Council adopted a resolution formalizing prior direction to prohibit the city from entering into new agreements to provide utility services (water/recycled water) outside the city limits.
Casey Weichert, director of public works, said the item follows earlier council direction and that one existing recycled‑water agreement providing services outside city limits remains active through 2029 and will not be affected unless council chooses otherwise. Weichert told the council the contract’s terms allow automatic renewal unless specifically terminated.
Council members discussed whether county‑owned property inside the city limits or other special cases should be carved out as exceptions. Staff said they would consult the city attorney and return with clarifying language if council desired. Council moved and adopted a resolution prohibiting new agreements to provide utility service outside city limits; the motion passed by voice vote.
Implementation details: staff will coordinate with the legal department to clarify obligations where county land is within city boundaries and to document any needed exceptions for existing contracts.
