Developer seeks city management of utilities for Walnut Creek subdivision; council asks for formal plan
Summary
Walnut Creek Development owner Joe Works asked the Humboldt City Council about the city managing water and sewer for his Walnut Creek housing development; the council requested a formal plan and asked Works to return on May 11, 2026 with details.
Joe Works, owner of Walnut Creek Development, spoke to the Humboldt City Council on April 13, 2026, about the possibility of the city managing water and sewer services for the Walnut Creek housing development.
After brief discussion, the council asked Works to prepare a more formalized plan outlining how city management would work, including service responsibilities and any infrastructure needs, and to return at the council's next regular meeting on May 11, 2026. The motion to ask for a formal plan and return the issue to the May 11 agenda was made by Lassman, seconded by Ames, and carried unanimously.
The transcript records the council’s direction but does not include a written plan, timetable, or details on financial arrangements. Those elements will need to be supplied by the developer and reviewed by staff and the council at the next meeting.
