Council reviews revised sewer upgrade agreement with Patriot Development Group; vote set for next meeting
Summary
City attorney staff presented a revised agreement with Patriot Development Group under which the developer will construct a sanitary sewer upgrade (10" to 12", about 1,400 linear feet) and receive reserved capacity for 300 units for five years; the agreement removes any city reimbursement and preserves the city's right to collect connection fees. Council concurred to move the item to a formal vote on the next meeting's agenda.
Miss Newbie, representing the city attorney's office, presented a revised development agreement between the City of Perry and Patriot Development Group that would require the developer to design and construct an upgrade of roughly 1,400 linear feet of sanitary sewer from a 10‑inch to a 12‑inch line.
Under the revised terms presented on April 20, the city would not reimburse construction costs; instead the developer would receive reserved capacity for up to 300 residential units on that line, effective for up to five years from the city's written acceptance of the infrastructure. Miss Newbie said the developer's estimated construction cost is about $350,000 and confirmed there is no waiver of the city's sewer connection fee for reserved units.
The presentation noted that part of the initial agreement review revealed an easement description of record that did not match the actual sewer location; staff worked to formalize the recorded easement with the property owner. City staff emphasized that the developer remains responsible for design, permitting, inspection and providing as‑built drawings and a Georgia‑licensed professional engineer's certification after construction is complete.
Council members asked whether the upgrade increases total capacity on the line beyond the reserved 300 units; staff said they would verify how much total capacity the upgrade provides. Administration recommended moving the revised agreement forward for a vote at the next council meeting; multiple members signaled concurrence to place the item on the consent or business agenda for a vote the following day.
No final contract vote occurred at the work session; council concurred to include the revised agreement on the next meeting agenda for formal action.
