� w . ♦ • COUNCIL COMMUNICATION FORM Engineering & Infrastructure Memorandum NO. 2006-04 January 5, 2006 TO: Honorable Mayor Osborne and City Council FROM: Steve Garm . City Manager Steve Swans n P. E.,Director of Engineering & Infrastructure�� Matthew C. Newell, P. E., City Enginee� SUBJECT: Water Service Agreement Addition of Baum Acres to Boiling Springs Area SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by staff that the City Council approve the attached Ordinance authorizing the addition of Baum Acres to the current Water Service Agreement(City Ordinance#90-72, attached hereto) in the Boiling Springs area and authorize the City Manager and the Director of Engineering and Infrastructure to enter into Water Service Agreements within the Water Service Agreement District and that the Mayor be authorized to sign said Ordinance, and the City Clerk to attest. BACKGROUND: On June 18, 1990, the City Council authorized the establishment of a Water Service Agreement District for a portion of the Boiling Springs area of the City following the installation of a water main in the area. In December 2005, owners of Baum Acres, a small subdivision in the Boiling Springs area, approached the City for a permit to connect 3 water taps into the existing water main in Westlawn Avenue (see attached map). Members of the City Engineering staff mistakenly believed Baum Acres to be a part of the Boiling Springs Water Service Agreement District. After the connection had been authorized and installed, it was determined that Baum Acres resided just outside the Agreement District. The ordinance revision adds Baum Acres to the Boiling Springs Water Agreement District, thereby formally authorizing the water connections that have taken place. POTENTIAL OBJECTIONS: There are no known objections to this resolution and agreement. INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: City Legal Department City Water Management Department
