Knox council approves transfer of wastewater bond funds for McGill Street lift station
Summary
On March 24 the Knox City Council adopted Resolution 2026 RE2 to move proceeds of a 2020 wastewater treatment-plant bond into the city sewer improvement fund to pay for a McGill Street lift station; the measure passed by voice vote.
The Knox City Council on March 24 adopted Resolution 2026 RE2 to transfer proceeds from a 2020 wastewater treatment-plant bond into the city’s sewer improvement fund for a McGill Street lift station serving a nearby subdivision. The motion to adopt the resolution was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.
The council’s brief presentation of the measure explained the transfer repurposes bond funding originally issued for the wastewater treatment plant so the city can pay for the lift-station work. No opposition or roll-call tally was recorded in the minutes; the council used a standard voice vote with members answering “I.”
The resolution was considered alongside routine agenda business including approval of draft minutes from February 24 and a special meeting on March 18. Council leadership indicated the transfer is intended to advance sewer improvements tied to ongoing development in the McGill Street area.
The council did not discuss technical specifications or a construction schedule at the March 24 meeting. The next procedural steps for the lift-station project—contracting, bidding or a public timeline—were not specified during the session.
