Notus council authorizes negotiation of late-comers agreement; mayor breaks tie
Summary
Council authorized city attorney and staff to negotiate a Late Comers Agreement offering connection fee waivers (inside development and 50% outside) for up to 15 years; the motion passed after Mayor David Porterfield cast the tie-breaking vote.
The Notus City Council authorized the city attorney and staff to negotiate a Late Comers Agreement with a developer that would waive certain water connection fees for inside development and 50% outside, with a proposed maximum term of 15 years. The city attorney reviewed terms and recommended a 15-year maximum; the motion to authorize negotiation produced a tied council vote and Mayor David Porterfield voted to break the tie in favor, carrying the motion.
Council members discussed collection at the end of the term, noting the staff recommendation that collection stops whether paid in full or not at term conclusion. The motion directs the city attorney and staff to proceed with a proposal for council consideration; no final contract was approved at the meeting.
