Administrator: wastewater land purchase moving toward Sept. 19 closing; TXDOT approves waterline
Summary
City Administrator Aaron Johnson reported the Village delivered a check for a wastewater land purchase and is planning to close by Sept. 19; he said the Village has TXDOT approval for a waterline and will next seek Travis County approval, and noted a 2022 waterline estimate of $1.8 million.
City Administrator Aaron Johnson told the council that he delivered the check to the title company for the wastewater land purchase and that the Village may need to redo the survey before closing. Johnson said waterline easements are being revised by the city attorney and will be returned to the affected parties, and that the Village is planning to close on the land purchase by Sept. 19.
Johnson reported, "We have received approval from TXDOT for waterline, next we will be seeking approval from Travis County." The administrator also said council members are actively discussing widening Bee Creek Road. When Alderman Johnston asked about an estimate for the waterline, Johnson said a 2022 estimate was $1.8 million; the minutes do not record an updated cost estimate or a finalized construction timeline.
Johnson emphasized that the Village needs all necessary approvals and to review bids before breaking ground. The minutes indicate the Village is advancing real-property and infrastructure steps but do not include contracts or firm cost schedules in the public record provided with the minutes.
