Board addresses annexation inquiry for 3220 South Memorial Drive and awaits well‑drilling bid resubmissions
Summary
A caller asked about annexation and connecting to city sewer for 3220 South Memorial Drive; board members said to refer the caller to the building inspector and noted the city's 300‑foot policy for service connections. The board also said bid paperwork for a well project has been submitted and contractor resubmissions may be requested.
During new/old business at the July 6 meeting, a board member said a resident called about annexation and connecting to sewer at 3220 South Memorial Drive because of a failing septic system. Board members agreed to refer the caller to the building inspector and to a staff contact named Kenny for specific steps and paperwork.
A board member explained the city's connection policy, saying, "I told her if she was in 300 feet of our services that she could automatically do that," and clarified that properties farther out may connect but would be charged out‑of‑city rates or need to sign waivers. The board emphasized that hookups must be contiguous and that the city cannot create an isolated spot on the map to extend service.
Separately, board members reported that bid paperwork for a proposed well project has been submitted and that approval is expected within about two weeks; they also said they may ask contractors to resubmit downsized bids and that the final work will depend on how much area the board authorizes for clearing and the selected drilling approach.
The board did not take formal action on either item during the recorded meeting and will direct the caller to staff for next steps.
