Annexation update delayed for Parcel 2008-53 as contractor estimates awaited
Summary
Council postponed action on annexation of Parcel 2008-53 after staff reported the property owner's contractor had been unavailable to provide piping estimates; utility staff said the local lift station would need rebuilding before supporting growth in the area.
The proposed annexation of Parcel 2008-53 (excluding Parcel 2004-66) was not acted on at the Aug. 11 council meeting after staff said contractor estimates for piping and lift-station work were not available in time. Staff told the council the contractor had been out of town but is expected to provide an approximate piping estimate so the council can make a decision at the next meeting.
Utility superintendent Steve Agnes warned that if development proceeds the city would need to "totally ... rip that lift station out and rebuild it because it's not built right," citing design shortcomings and limited freeboard. Staff said they expect contractor information and cost estimates to be available for the next council meeting and will return with a recommendation then.
