Council approves purchase of 89-acre tract near sewer plant for future use
Summary
Council approved Resolution 1931 to acquire an 89-acre tract from the Shirley and Belmar Trust that borders the city sewer plant; the Chair said the parcel is ideally located for future sewer upgrades.
The Waterloo City Council voted to authorize the acquisition of an 89-acre tract adjacent to the municipal sewer plant.
The Chair explained the property borders the city’s approximately 120-acre sewer plant site on multiple sides and said the tract would be ideal for future updates or reconstruction of the sewer plant. The Chair noted the parcel had been in private hands for 75 years and is now available for purchase; council members indicated the matter had been handled previously in executive session.
Council moved, seconded and approved Resolution 1931 by roll call. The Chair said the acquisition would position the city to update or rebuild sewer infrastructure when needed; the motion passed without further amendment on the record.
Details such as purchase price and closing schedule were not provided during the public discussion and remain “not specified” on the record; staff will follow up to complete transaction steps.
