Homeowners oppose city work; council unanimously rejects Ripple Creek outfall bids
Summary
Two Ripple Creek homeowners told council they opposed the city performing an outfall project; the City Engineer said a pipe failure would affect only one property. Following comments, the council voted unanimously to reject bids for the Ripple Creek Outfall Project.
Homeowners Sue Shaper (325 Ripple Creek) and Penn Shaper (326 Ripple Creek) addressed the council to oppose the Ripple Creek Outfall Project, saying they did not want the city to perform the work because of potential future failure and negative impacts to their property. "[They] stated they were opposed to the city performing the Outfall Project regardless of the possibility of it failing in the future and negatively impacting their property," the minutes record.
City Engineer Nick Mumme advised the council that, in his assessment, a pipe failure would impact only 325 Ripple Creek and not other properties. After discussion the council voted to reject the bids for the Ripple Creek Outfall Project; Councilmember Fidel Sapien made the motion and Councilmember Linda Knox seconded. The motion was carried unanimously.
