Council discusses $500,000 sewer-services contract; staff says cost will be financed and spread over years
Summary
Director Hitch outlined a proposed $500,000 sewer services contract for lining and deep repairs; council asked how the sanitary fund would be affected and staff said work could be bond-financed and the program is intended to be sustainable over time.
The committee examined ordinance 26-17, which would authorize the mayor to advertise for bids and enter into a sewer services contract covering camera work, lining and repairs. Director Hitch said the lining approach reduces excavation costs and bundles scope to secure better pricing. "The lining project is gonna be big because it's gonna save us a lot of excavation," he said.
Council members asked whether the $500,000 would come from the sanitary sewer fund and if the fund could sustain similar work in following years. Finance staff explained the project was included in budget hearings and that funding could be part of bond anticipation notes spread over 30 years to preserve cashflow. The committee voted to keep the item in committee and request mapping and a clearer project list of hot spots for future planning.
