Council to verify paperwork for Rocky Mountain Power to serve Tushar Spring subdivision
Summary
A developer requested approval to allow Rocky Mountain Power to serve six lots in the Tushar Spring Phase 1 subdivision until Beaver City infrastructure extends; Council asked staff to verify a 2018 approval or reaffirm it and to move toward a formal interlocal agreement, noting the city would eventually need to purchase the utility infrastructure at appraised value if it assumes service.
Emerson Jolley asked Beaver City Council May 26 to approve Rocky Mountain Power serving all six lots in Tushar Spring Subdivision Phase 1, with the cost distributed across lots and the understanding that service would transfer to Beaver City Power when city infrastructure reaches the area.
Staff located a March 9, 2018 document addressing prior approvals for Tushar Spring Phase 1 and the council agreed staff should verify whether a signed copy exists. City Attorney Justin Wayment clarified that if and when Beaver City assumes service the city would be required to purchase Rocky Mountain Power’s infrastructure at appraised value. Council indicated it would reaffirm prior approvals if a signed 2018 approval cannot be located and directed staff to pursue a formal interlocal contract with Rocky Mountain Power consistent with that understanding.
No final contract was signed on May 26; the council requested staff to return with verification of existing documents or a reaffirmation motion and a proposed interlocal agreement if needed.
