FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: JANUARY 7, 2020
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF WATERLINE OVERSIZING REIMBURSEMENT AND
APPROPRIATION ORDINANCE
RECOMMENDATION: City Council to consider an ordinance authorizing waterline oversizing
reimbursement to Westwood Development Group for the construction of a
12" water line along Northwest Highway and adopt an appropriation
ordinance.
FUNDING SOURCE: Upon approval, funds will be available in the Utility Enterprise Capital
Fund for an amount not to exceed $42,771.
BACKGROUND: Westwood Group Development is developing an office building complex
located at the northeast corner of Boyd Road and Northwest Highway.
The development's demand requires a proposed 8" water line. The City's
Master Plan calls for a 12" water line to serve future needs. As such, the
City will require the developer to install a 12" water line and reimburse the
developer for the cost difference between the 8" and 12" line. Staff has
reviewed the costs submitted and finds them to be reasonable.
Staff recommends approval.
