Robersonville council reviews utility asset study and water-service partnership options
Summary
Town Manager Chris Roberson presented a Utility Asset Study and a Currituck water/sewer proposal and asked the council to tally preferred water-service partnership options, including a three-party partnership with Everetts and Parmele or making Parmele a wholesale customer of Robersonville.
Town Manager Chris Roberson presented the council with a Utility Asset Study (MRF) and a competing Currituck Water/Sewer proposal during the recessed Robersonville Town Council meeting on Nov. 13, 2024. He described options for how the town might secure regional water service and asked the mayor and council to indicate their preferences.
Roberson said the council should consider whether to pursue a three-town partnership, serve Parmele as a wholesale customer, or pursue a bilateral partnership with Everetts. "Manager Roberson discussed with the council the Utility Asset Study (MRF) VS Currituck Water/Sewer Proposal," the minutes state. After tallying, the order reported by the manager was: first, a Robersonville–Everetts–Parmele partnership; second, Parmele as a wholesale customer of Robersonville; and third, a Robersonville and Everetts partnership.
No formal motion or vote on selecting a partner was recorded in the minutes. The council received the presentation and conducted the tally but did not document a directive to staff or a binding agreement during the session. The minutes do not specify technical details of the MRF study, cost estimates, or timelines for any of the options.
Mayor Tina Brown and multiple council members were present for the discussion. The minutes list Town Manager Chris Roberson as the presenter and do not record additional substantive public comment or a staff report attached to the item.
The council did not adopt a course of action by the end of the recessed meeting; the minutes record further deliberation or formal action as not specified. The item remains under local consideration pending any follow-up staff reports or future agenda items.
