COUNCIL/STAFF DISCUSSION
Councilmember Cole asked Project Coordinator Alan Mueller if there are any privately
owned water systems in the proposed annex area? Mr. Mueller stated that there is at
least one that he is aware of that has a Certificate of Convenience and Necessity. He
also stated that there is probably a lot of other private water wells and there may be
some other small systems. He further stated that this one is in the Robin Cove area
which services about fifteen.
City Manager Paul Grohman stated that the goals have been for the City to have a
better plan for our future by making sure that the growth we have is positive in nature
and an enhancement to the area. The Council's goals have been to make sure that
the usage that comes into an area will conform with what is consistent with City
zoning. He further stated that long term we understand the necessity of providing
potable water from a continually solid source for the entire area. He also stated that
we are currently in the design phase of our third wastewater plant and the City will
have sanitary sewer available to large tracts of land in that area. Mr. Grohman stated
that these are things that help areas develop more positively. He also stated that in
the unincorporated areas they have had numerous drainage problems because they
do not go through the same process as developments do that are inside the City
limits. Mr. Grohman further stated that it has been productive in the areas that we
have annexed.
