Summary

Councilors discussed the town's storage shortfall and said a proposed storage building should resemble Well 6 to blend with surroundings; the storage problem remains unresolved and is tied to Lakeside's need to construct a water tower, per the transcript.

Council members discussed the town's storage capacity shortfall during the May 7 workshop and noted that Rauch's proposed Well 4R would not solve that problem. The meeting record says the Rauch proposal "still requires Lakeside to build a water tower." Councilors also discussed a proposed new storage building and expressed a preference that its exterior be designed to match the appearance of the existing Well 6 building so it will blend in with surrounding properties.

No formal decision on design standards, procurement, or a construction timeline is recorded in the transcript. The workshop ended at 5:38 p.m. after a motion by Commissioner Rose Potter, seconded by Commissioner Michael Sullivan, which the council approved unanimously.
