Council reviews supplementals and capital needs including lift‑station repairs, concrete work and 2804 Sunset drainage
Summary
Staff presented unfunded supplementals totaling about $2.2 million including lift‑station equipment, a Jetter replacement, concrete repairs for water projects and a potential $500,000 long‑term fix for drainage and piping under a duplex at 2804 Sunset; staff said some items could be one‑time draws on fund balance.
Blackwell walked council through a long supplemental list that included water and sewer equipment, stormwater tools, and one‑time infrastructure repairs. Notable items were a proposed $17,000 grease‑management 'blubber' installation at lift stations (Kingston and Stone Creek), an $80,000 repair allocation for the Heritage lift station, a $110,000 Jetter replacement, and $125,000 added to the water fund for concrete repairs tied to water line work.
He also flagged a long‑term estimate of $500,000 to address a drainage pipe running beneath a duplex at 2804 Sunset, noting the amount likely covers property acquisition and long‑term repair. Staff emphasized many of these requests are one‑time capital expenses that could be funded from unrestricted balances or specific fund reserves rather than recurring revenue. Councilmembers asked staff to prioritize the list given an available surplus (about $362,000) and to verify whether contractual warranties or contractor remedies might cover some facility defects.
