Council places $500,000 sewer services contract on 2nd reading; follow‑up work requested
Summary
Ordinance 26‑17, authorizing the mayor to solicit bids and enter into a sewer services contract (about $500,000) for multiple sewer‑lining projects and an emergency dig, was placed on 2nd reading; council asked Director Hitch for a focused report to committee on the sewer conditions.
Ordinance 26‑17, which authorizes the mayor to advertise for bids and enter into a sewer services contract of approximately $500,000, was placed on 2nd reading and returned to committee for further consideration.
Council members asked Director Hitch to provide more detail about which sanitary sewer sections would be included and how the work differs from the county's existing sewer contract. Director Hitch explained the proposed contract would bundle multiple sewer‑lining projects to save money and cover an emergency dig on South Park Drive that the county cannot perform. The administration indicated the financing would rely on long‑term bond anticipation notes because the work is intended to be long‑lived capital improvement.
Council asked for a follow‑up presentation to the committee on the mapped sewer conditions and the anticipated impact on the sewer fund before final passage.
