Council authorizes use of water tap fees to cover DGR Engineering invoice pending state reimbursement
Summary
Council authorized using water tap fees to pay a DGR Engineering invoice (invoice #3) for the West Ave waterline project with the expectation the city will be reimbursed by the state; the motion passed by roll call.
Staff requested authority to use water tap fees to pay a DGR Engineering invoice (identified in the meeting as invoice #3) that covered engineering overages on the West Ave waterline project tied to the new water tower. Staff explained the city will seek reimbursement from the state and asked for interim use of the tap-fee account to cover the invoice: "I would like to use water tap fees to pay for the invoice that then gets reimbursement back from the state," staff said.
The council moved to approve the request and voted by roll call to authorize the temporary fund use and the reimbursement process. Staff said the city’s 'South Dakota FIT' account is where the money is held and that short-term withdrawals are possible while the city preserves interest income on other balances.
