Council liaison summarizes town business; Sedalia pump-house pipeline slated to start June 1
Summary
Town Council liaison reported on a recent council meeting including a historic-preservation proclamation and a water-project ordinance to build a pump house and pipeline supplying Platte River water to Sedalia; presenters said construction is slated to begin June 1 with several property easements pending.
During general updates on May 6, Town Council liaison David Roe briefed the Historic Preservation Board on recent council activity and a multi-property water pipeline project that will bring Platte River water to Sedalia.
Roe said the council issued a proclamation for Historic Preservation Month and recognized local scholarship recipients. He then summarized four council ordinances and a water-related ordinance described as work to install a pump house in Sedalia and run pipeline infrastructure across roughly 11 properties. Roe said about eight property owners have agreed to easements or land sales and that construction "is supposed to start June 1 and finish people at the end of the year," according to a speaker on the call.
Board members asked follow-up questions about whether the pipeline would be buried (staff answered that it would) and how the town will stage construction through private properties. The liaison framed the project as part of providing public water access to areas that currently rely on wells and noted town staff will continue outreach to property owners about access and potential land purchases.
No formal action by the Historic Preservation Board was taken on the water project during the meeting; board members requested staff follow up with the town’s planning and public works contacts if more detail is needed for any eligibility or landmark concerns.
