Council authorizes negotiation of $20,250 cost-share for downtown waterline upgrade
Summary
The council voted to authorize Maintenance Director Ramon Lujan to negotiate a $20,250 contribution toward plumbing upgrades for a new downtown business (option C from McPherson Backhoe); the motion carried unanimously.
Maintenance Director Ramon Lujan told the council a new business coming to downtown requires additional water capacity and that staff had sought three bids for the work. "There is a new business coming to downtown and they need more water to run their equipment," Ramon said, and asked whether the city would consider splitting the project cost with the business owner.
Councilmember Allen Hisken moved "to authorize and approve Ramon to negotiate an offer of $20,250 towards the plumbing upgrades, option C from McPherson Backhoe." Dave Armstrong seconded. The council voted unanimously in favor (Armstrong, Hisken, Nolan, Joy), and the motion carried. The minutes record no amendments to the amount or conditions; the authorization directs Ramon to negotiate terms with the business and contractor.
