Council approves up-to-$25,000 regional wastewater evaluation with Rockford, seeks staff collaboration
Summary
Greenfield approved an agreement to contribute up to $25,000 toward a Stantec evaluation of Rockford's wastewater capacity and potential additional flows from Greenfield, with council requesting clearer not-to-exceed language and coordination with staff.
The council approved entering an intercity agreement with Rockford and consultant Stantec for a regional flow evaluation, with Greenfield agreeing to a not-to-exceed reimbursement cap of $25,000. City staff described the scope as an engineering model to assess current flow, plant capacity and projected inflows related to planned buildout and growth; the initial Stantec estimate was roughly $14,600.
Council members discussed why Rockford wanted its own engineering analysis rather than relying solely on operator Veolia's data; staff explained Stantec will model buildout projections and future flows while Veolia provides current operational data. The council also asked staff to coordinate if project costs approach the $25,000 cap and requested the study be expedited where feasible. "If we want to work with Rockford, we have to play by their rules," the mayor said, referring to Rockford's requirement for independent analysis.
