Summary

The committee recommended moving a resolution authorizing the city manager to execute a 2026 sanitary sewer service agreement with Benton Township and the joint wastewater treatment plant; staff said the extension imposes no direct financial impact on the city.

Acting City Manager Oscar Warren briefed the committee on a proposed 2026 sanitary sewer service agreement with Benton Township and the joint wastewater treatment plant that extends the term of an existing agreement and aligns it with long-term financing and bond timetables.

Warren said the city and partner jurisdictions own the joint sewage plant and that the agreement updates term lengths to match financing needs; he told commissioners the staff recommendation was to move the authorization forward and that there would be no financial impact to the city under the proposed extension.

Commissioners indicated consensus to forward the resolution to the full commission for formal action.

Next steps: The city will place the authorizing resolution on the full commission agenda for approval.
