Contracts and Agreements
- Mayor Kleiss presented a memorandum of understanding with the developer of the Ensey Street townhomes for council consideration. Administrator Hoel stated council approved an Engineering Agreement in December that calls for design, permitting, and bid solicitation for the extension of a water main on Ensey Street to serve the new development, and a possible extension past the development to improve our system and allow for future development, if needed. Slaughter moved to approve the Memorandum of Understanding with HMH Rentals, LLC, for the Ensey Street water main extension. Morris seconded. After a question about cost from Hoey, Administrator Hoel explained the preliminary discussion calls for HMH paying for the first 150' of the extension, which would get it to their property. If the city decides to extend past their property, we would pay. Both parties will split the engineering cost. VOTE YEA* Brace, Day, Hoey, Morris, Rund, Shoemaker, Slaughter.
