Built from the posted agenda; no minutes or video were read, so nothing here says what was decided.

• Reports: July water and sewer operations from Utilities Director Tim Nyander and the monthly Water Resource Recovery Facility (WRRF) operations report. Committee chair is Council Member Teresa Turk.
• Amendment No. 3 to the Garver engineering agreement for Noland WRRF improvements, $2,294,000, to carry design to the 100% milestone; the Phase 1 improvements are estimated at $98 million over five years.
• Amendment No. 1 to the Carollo Engineers agreement for the 2025 water and sewer rate and impact fee studies, not to exceed $74,990.
• Water service boundary adjustment requested by Mount Olive Water near Lake Wilson, southeast of Drake Field Airport.
• Change Order No. 3 to the Nabholz Construction contract for MLK utility relocations, which would add $687,340.18; the agenda says the City's share of the added cost is $90,770.23, with the Arkansas Department of Transportation responsible for the balance under its relocation agreement.
• Cleveland Townhomes waterline cost share: a 50/50 split of the low bid ($97,612), with the City obligation capped at $48,806.
• S. Mally Wagnon Rd. request to connect a split 4.2-acre county parcel (four planned single-family homes) to City sewer.
