BACKGROUND: GWSA Land Development, LLC entered into a Site Improvement Agreement with the
City for Northstar 1st Addition on October 6th, 2023. The Site Improvement Agreement included extension
of sanitary sewer and watermain along Stillwater Blvd and between Stillwater Blvd and the UPRR tracks
southwest of the Northstar site. The Watermain and Sanitary Sewer Improvements have been completed
and accepted as of June 3rd, 2025, and the 2-year warranty period has been initiated.
ISSUE BEFORE COUNCIL: Should the City Council approve payment for the City oversize cost
reimbursements for the offsite utilities installed under the Northstar 1st Addition Site Improvement
Agreement?
PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS: Staff has received and processed a request for City reimbursement
of the offsite sanitary sewer and watermain pipe oversizing costs related to the Northstar Site Improvement
Agreement. This request has been reviewed and is being recommended for approval in accordance with the
approved Site Improvement Agreement, and contingent on the developer being current with all other
payments and obligations, including a positive escrow balance as required by the City.
FISCAL IMPACT: Oversize payments are recommended in the amounts of $56,722 for the watermain
oversize costs, and $25,920 for the sanitary sewer oversize costs. The total amount to be reimbursed is
$82,642.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff is recommending that the City Council, as part of the Consent Agenda,
approve payment for the City oversize cost reimbursements for the Northstar 1st Addition public offsite
sanitary sewer and watermain. The payment is contingent on the developer being current with all payments
and obligations in accordance with the Site Improvement Agreement, including a positive escrow balance
as required by the City. If removed from the consent agenda, the recommended motion for the action is as
follows:
Motion to approve payment for the City oversize cost reimbursements for the Northstar Site
Improvement Agreement in the amount of $82,642, contingent on the developer being current with
all payments and obligations in accordance with the Site Improvement Agreement, including a
