Council approves resolution to seek WSRLA loan for Fairground Boulevard water‑line design
Summary
Council authorized applying for a Water Supply Revolving Loan Account loan to design the Fairground Boulevard water-line replacement project, designated a repayment source and declared an emergency, citing an aging line that repeatedly requires repair.
Council approved a resolution authorizing the city manager to apply for, accept and enter into a Water Supply Revolving Loan Account (WSRLA) agreement for design of the Fairground Boulevard water-line replacement project and designated a dedicated repayment source.
A council member said the line is old and city staff argued that repeated repairs are no longer tenable: "Can't keep putting a band aid on it," a council member said. The resolution declares an emergency to accelerate design and seeks loan funding for the engineering work required to replace the aging main.
Council members seconded the motion and recorded votes in favor. Staff indicated the project will move forward to design once loan authorization and funding details are finalized; no final construction contract was awarded at this meeting.
