Approval of Lake Olympic Townhouses Lift Station & Gravity Collection System Service and Maintenance Agreement. (Utilities Director Smith) The Lake Olympic Townhouses Association (HOA) has a private sanitary sewer collection and pumping (lift) station that collects and conveys the homeowners' wastewater flow into the City's collection system. Historically, the City has provided emergency support to the HOA during utility system failures and for routine maintenance of the station. In addition, Utility staff would make repairs to the station and obtain reimbursement from the HOA for any hard costs. Both the Utilities Department and the HOA wish to formalize a maintenance relationship through the acceptance of an Agreement. A second Agreement for the City to provide maintenance and emergency repair service for the HOA's water system will follow, based on results of this action. The Agreement establishes the terms of the services provided by the City, parties' responsibilities, and a monthly maintenance fee of $406.20. The Agreement provides indemnification for the City as a result of third party actions, and maintains that the City's responsibility for costs shall not exceed $500 for the first thirty six (36) months. 7. Approval of the Vineyards Homeowners Association Agreement for Upgraded Street Lights. (City Engineer Wheeler) The Homeowners Association Agreement for Upgraded Street Lights was proposed by Staff and Legal Council and agreed to by the Vineyards HOA. Once the Agreement is executed by the City, the HOA will pay the upgraded street light cost differential and pursue the replacement of the lights with Progress Energy. The City began billing the HOA for the cost differential 17 months ago when a review of all subdivisions and street lights was conducted. Therefore, the City will need to waive the past bills plus the next three months to the Vineyards HOA for the monthly cost differential for the current street lights. The street light payments from the HOAs are not listed as a revenue stream in the City's Budget but are credited against the expense line item in the Budget for payments to Progress Energy for all street lights in the City. 8. Approval of McCormick Woods Phase 3 Plat. (City Engineer Wheeler) This plat is for phase 3 of the McCormick Woods subdivision, the final phase of this development. The McCormick Woods subdivision is located at the southwest corner of Ingram and McCormick Roads. The overall subdivision contains 212 single family lots on 79.77 acres; and phase 3 comprises 30 of those lots on 9.87 acres of the development. G. SECOND READING OF ORDINANCES - PUBLIC HEARINGS 9.

We will seek a license for a fourth facility, the Community Center Complex, which includes the Withers- Maguire House, when the required remodeling of the House is completed. In order to provide for the routine use of these licenses and to facilitate rental of the facilities for private events, Chapter 38 of the Code of Ordinances needs to be revised. 11.
