Boulder City redevelopment agency approves funding eligibility for Coffee Cup Cafe sewer repairs
Summary
The Boulder City Redevelopment Agency voted unanimously to make Coffee Cup LLC eligible for reimbursement of up to $17,025 toward an estimated $56,750 sewer and drain rehabilitation at the Coffee Cup Cafe, 512 Nevada Way. Commissioners asked about pipe age and business disruption; staff said repairs are proactive and should not interrupt service.
The Boulder City Redevelopment Agency voted unanimously to approve a request that would make Coffee Cup LLC eligible for redevelopment funding to rehabilitate sewer and drain infrastructure at the Coffee Cup Cafe, 512 Nevada Way. The project is estimated at approximately $56,750 and would be eligible for up to $17,025 in reimbursement upon completion, the city’s economic development coordinator said.
Raffi Festektion, the city’s economic development coordinator, presented the Stevens family’s application and told the board the requested funds would "assist in the rehabilitation of the sewer and drain infrastructure at the property." He said the funding would be reimbursed when the project is finished: "If approved this evening, Coffee Cup LLC would be eligible to receive up to $17,025," Festektion said.
The request drew questions from commissioners about the age of the pipes and the potential for business disruption. A commissioner asked, "How old are the pipes that they're dealing with there right now?" Festektion replied that the infrastructure is "pretty old, if not the original," and added that the work would allow the business to continue operating: "No disruption to business, which is really huge."
Another commissioner described the repair as a "relatively simple solution" and emphasized the community value of keeping a local breakfast spot open. A different commissioner asked whether the health department had mandated the work; Festektion said it was not a mandatory enforcement action but rather a proactive step to "prevent a catastrophe" and avoid the potential for a lengthy business closure.
After brief discussion, the clerk recorded a motion to approve the redevelopment resolution related to the Coffee Cup request; the motion was seconded and the board voted in favor. The clerk and chair recorded the vote as unanimous and the resolution was approved.
No members of the public offered comment during either public-comment period. The redevelopment agency adjourned and attendees were informed a City Council public meeting would follow at 5:00 p.m.
What’s next: Funds, if used, will be reimbursed upon completion of the indicated repairs; no implementation timeline or exact contractor details were provided during the meeting.
