Kirklin council approves sewer design invoice, small landscaping and infrastructure payments; tables one leak-adjustment request
Summary
The Kirklin Town Council approved a $19,109 payment for sanitary sewer preliminary design, a $500 landscaping job, and a $2,520 invoice; it approved most leak-adjustment requests but tabled one for further information, and directed staff to review ordnances on multi-unit meters.
At its meeting, the Kirklin Town Council approved several routine payments and took limited action on billing adjustments after discussion.
A council member moved to approve payment to Umwealth Engineers for $19,109 for preliminary design work on the sanitary sewer rehabilitation project; the motion was seconded and the Chair said the motion carried. The council also approved a $500 landscaping quote from Dirty Hands Landscaping to remove dead bushes and install replacement plantings and approved a $2,520 invoice to Eco Infrastructure Solutions that had been submitted after packets were prepared.
Council members reviewed a tenant water/sewer leak-adjustment request tied to 101 Southgate and discussed the timeline of door-hanger notices and repairs. Staff explained the adjustment would be calculated using the old water rates because the new rates took effect April 1. The Chair moved to approve the reviewed adjustments but table the adjustment requested by Tegan Olam until the next meeting to gather more information; the motion was seconded and carried.
Council members also discussed recurring downtown properties served by single meters and the fairness implications of multi-unit meters. Staff were asked to review town ordinances and report back; council noted there may be costs to property owners to install separate meter setters but said options should be reviewed before action.
No roll-call vote tallies were recorded in the packet for the motions beyond the meeting chair’s announcement that "Motion carries." The council adjourned after handling these items.
