Spring Hill BOMA directs flow monitoring, permits grease trap request and bars Sunday work on Southside tank
Summary
In a March 2 work session the board directed a tiered flow-monitoring plan for moratorium compliance, allowed a small-tenant under-sink grease trap request subject to inspection, and denied contractor requests for Sunday work on the Southside water tank project, directing notification to nearby residents.
Spring Hill City — During a work session on March 2 the Board of Mayor and Aldermen directed staff and contractors on multiple public-works issues related to wastewater monitoring, grease control for small tenants, and construction scheduling.
AGM Reclamation representative Ryan LaMunyon presented a tiered flow-monitoring approach the City can use to comply with moratorium requirements; after questions about how the data would be used the Board directed Mr. LaMunyon to proceed with the technical plan. The presentation was described as a data-driven plan to measure flow impacts during the moratorium; no vote was required.
On grease control for small commercial tenants, Mr. LaMunyon and Development Services Director Dara Sanders recommended approval of an under-sink grease trap request for a small tenant, contingent on final City inspections and approvals. Staff noted they may recommend an ordinance amendment later to formally allow this grease-trap type; the Board directed staff to permit the current request ahead of a potential code change.
The Board also considered a contractor request for the Southside water tank project. AGM Spartan representative Will Brasfield asked to use a smaller containment footprint for paint containment and requested crews be allowed to work on Sundays to recover an approximately four-month delay. Aldermen Alex Jimenez, Vincent Fuqua, Mayor Matt Fitterer, and Vice Mayor Trent Linville expressed opposition to Sunday work. The Board directed the contractor that Sunday work is not permitted and instructed that surrounding residents be notified so they can protect property and be aware of containment measures.
Jason Ogg of Carrillo Engineers presented an overview of a centrifuge project and the need for additional scope items at the wastewater treatment plant; that item and several capital funding topics were discussed with direction to staff but no final board vote recorded.
City Administrator Carter Napier closed the work-session items with a capital presentation. The Board directed staff to obtain an internal appraisal or broker's opinion of value for property that may be displaced by expansion, poll members for potential special meeting dates, and explore alternative funding methods discussed during the presentation.
Next steps: staff will proceed with the flow-monitoring technical plan, process the under-sink grease trap approval subject to inspections, and instruct the Southside contractor to avoid Sunday work while notifying adjacent residents.
