Summary
The Common Council authorized an agreement to provide demolition services to the village of Waterville, noting the city’s equipment and staff would assist and that the mayor may sign the agreement.
The Utica Common Council voted 8‑0 on July 2 to authorize an intermunicipal agreement under which the city would provide demolition services to the village of Waterville.
The resolution states the city possesses heavy equipment and personnel needed to assist Waterville with planned demolitions and authorizes the mayor to execute the agreement and related documents. During the meeting a staff member explained Waterville “contacted us to do demolition. We've helped them in the past under the same type of agreement.” The staff further said the current contract covers tipping fees, personnel costs and includes a 20% additional payment above expenses to help cover city operations.
The vote was recorded as eight yeas and the resolution was adopted. The resolution is procedural: it authorizes execution of a contract substantially in the form attached to the resolution and does not itself describe specific parcels or demolition dates.
