The City Manager’s Report showcases current events facing the City externally and internally since the last Council meeting, while highlighting City accomplishments.
TAP Funding
Looking Ahead
The July City Source includes:
The recently engrossed House Bill 3127 including a direct funding award of $3,000,000 for resiliency improvements to the Talent-Ashland-Phoenix (TAP) system. These improvements include updating/adding emergency backup power to booster pump stations, pump upgrades to meet peak/fire demand requirements, seismic building improvements, a non-peak/emergency connection from Ashland to Talent and Phoenix that would provide a gravity feed to both communities for non-peak and emergency related and programming updates associated with the booster pump station improvements. Staff will be prepared to move forward with a supplemental budget request to Council once the process for obtaining the funding is outlined. City of Ashland staff will be the lead for the system improvements and will coordinate throughout the project phases with Talent and Phoenix to ensure our solid partnership continues.
