Board of Works approves city-paid connection for Village Drive apartment complex
Summary
The Lawrenceburg Board of Works approved a city-funded connection from the Mike Knowles apartment complex on Ludlow Hill to the main in the street; the owner will sign a hold-harmless agreement and the work will use a short run of 4-inch Schedule 40 pipe.
The Lawrenceburg Board of Works voted July 6 to authorize staff to connect the Mike Knowles apartment complex on Village Drive (Ludlow Hill) to the main in the street and to execute a hold-harmless agreement with the property owner.
City attorney Dale Wilton described the proposal as a way to resolve an unconnected sewer/storm line at the Mike Knowles complex. He told the board the city would "connect him now…We'll do everything at our cost, and then he would just sign the hold harmless that we have in our package." Staff members Austin and Ashley had discussed terms with the property owner and indicated Mr. Knowles was generally agreeable.
Board members and staff discussed the work scope. A staff member said the run would be about 14–15 feet toward the street and that the connection would use 4-inch Schedule 40 pipe requiring roughly 20 feet of material. There was no discussion of additional city funding sources beyond a statement that the city would absorb the cost of the connection.
The board moved, seconded and approved the measure by voice vote. The board recorded the motion as carried.
What happens next: staff will execute the connection work and obtain the owner's signature on the hold-harmless form; the item was described as a final settlement of the issue in order to connect the property to the city's main.
