On Monday’s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, Mayor Andersen said the City Council will meet later this week, to go back and meet with city attorneys to discuss the rejected items and look at what the city may do in terms of offering another proposal to SRWD.

The Mayor indicated that the city does not want to “damage” the existing contracts with Stutsman Rural Water District as it applies to Great River Energy gray water issues.

The agreement with GRE, concerning water service is with the city, and SRWD. Stutsman Rural Water District, wants the new agreement to address what occurs if a “material breech ” of contract occurs, regarding serving GRE with water.

At a joint meeting last week between the city and SRWD, Rural Water District attorney Harris suggested a separate agreement allowing Rural Water to serve Titan while other points of the agreement are finalized.

City officials expressed concern if Rural Water would follow through with the rest of the agreement.

Mayor Andersen said she is leery of the agreement having other issues “unnecessarily lumped into the draft.”
