COUNCIL COMMUNICATION FORM Engineering & Infrastructure Memorandum NO. 2006-38 May 30, 2006 TO: Honorable Mayor Osborne and City Council FROM: Steve Garm ity Manager � Steve Swans P. E., Director of Engineerin & Infrastructure Matthew C. N well, P. E., City Engineerµ,(,G(� SUBJECT: Water Service Agreement for Deer Run Subdivision SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by staff that the City Council approve the attached resolution authorizing a Water Service Agreement between the City of Decatur and the property owner/developer of the Deer Run Subdivision, authorize the City Manager and the Director of Engineering and Infrastructure to enter into the Water Service Agreement and that the Mayor be authorized to sign said Resolution, and the City Clerk to attest. BACKGROUND: In 1957, the City extended a 12 inch water main along a portion of Turpin Road to provide water to the Pittsburg Plate Glass Company. As is typical with water main extensions that are installed beyond City limits, nearby residents periodically request permission to have access to City water. To service properties not currently within the City limits, a Water Service Agreement must be entered into between the City and the property owner(s). In this instance the owner / developer of a 19 lot subdivision has requested permission to connect to City water and extend a City water main through the subdivision to serve the lots. Since the Deer Run Subdivision is approximately %z mile outside the City limits a Water Service Agreement must be entered into between the owner and the City. The agreement is the standard Water Service Agreement with the exception of an additional requirement that when any portion of the subdivision becomes contiguous to City limits, the whole subdivision must annex to the City. POTENTIAL OBJECTIONS: There are no known objections to this resolution and agreement. INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: None
