Council reviews $16,191.51 in water discounts to Blue Ridge ISD since 2020; staff to seek contract clarification
Summary
Council staff reported the city has discounted Blue Ridge ISD's water by $16,191.51 since August 2020 and said the easement tied to that discount appears paid and recorded; staff will contact the district's representative to discuss ending or renegotiating the arrangement.
Staff told the council that, "over the last 6 years since August 2020, we have discounted Blue Ridge ISD's water by $16,191.51," and that the discount was tied to easement agreements. Chair (Speaker 1) said the easement is recorded and paid for and that she will contact Dr. Floyd to explore whether the discount agreement can be ended or renegotiated now that the easement is fulfilled.
Council members raised questions about whether the district has land within city limits that would affect future discounts and asked staff to pull the signed contracts for review. Chair said all data provided under the contract must be delivered to the city and confirmed that staff will review the agreements and report back with legal and fiscal implications.
