Bromley council weighs SD1 land survey and balks at water-tower naming fee
Summary
During old-business discussion on July 9, the Bromley City Council heard that SD1 requested a land survey and legal description for a leased lot (estimated cost $500), and City Attorney Matt Woods relayed a proposal to add 'BROMLEY' to the water tower for $10,000 up front and $60,000 annually, which he called "insulting."
During the July 9 meeting the council discussed two items in old business: a requested land survey for an SD1 lot and a proposal from the water-tower owner to add the word "BROMLEY" to the tower in exchange for what staff described as a $10,000 up-front fee and $60,000 annually.
Councilmember Andy Clift said SD1 asked for a land survey and a legal description for the property, and City Attorney Matt Woods recommended obtaining a land survey for accurate details and legal clarity. "I recommend a Land survey for accurate detailing of all items on the property. The cost is usually around $500," Woods said.
On a separate matter, Woods relayed that the water-tower owner's attorney informed the city the maintenance schedule is in 2027 and that the owner wanted $10,000 up front and $60,000 annually to "rent the space" for adding the city's name. Woods said he found the quoted terms "insulting." The transcript does not show a council vote or a formal decision on either the survey or the water-tower proposal.
The survey recommendation provides a clear next step if the council decides to pursue leasing or formalizing the SD1 lot arrangement; the water-tower request will require further legal and financial review if council seeks to respond to the owner's proposal.
