This is for the Inwood Avenue booster station. A major question if whether or not to include nearby neighborhoods. One option is to include Parkwood Estates and pick up 32 properties. Simply running down Inwood and skipping Parkview Estates would be wasteful. Staff does not recommend including all the adjacent properties at this time, but instead do them later as independent projects. City Administrator Zuleger noted that this area uses GAC (granular activated carbon) filter systems due to water quality issues. Council Member Smith concurred and stated that many of those homes want water. One goal is to connect to Eagle Point Business Park. The route of the watermain is not exactly known at this time, but there are multiple options to connect. Mr. Zuleger said the City is in weekly conversations with those nearby property owners/developers. A friendly amendment was offered to add “not to exceed $6,700 unless approved by City Administrator” to the motion. <br />MOTION: Council Member Reeves moved TO APPROVE RESOLUTION NO. 2013-62, ORDERING <br />PREPARATION OF A FEASIBILITY REPORT FOR THE INWOOD BOOSTER STATION AND TRUNK <br />WATERMAIN IMPROVEMENTS NOT TO EXCEED $3,900 UNLESS APPROVED BY THE CITY <br />ADMINISTRATOR.
