From the meeting
The dam packet recommends decommissioning Blue Lake Dam instead of repairing it. The decommission option is estimated at $323,650, which is $109,650 above the TWDB construction budget. This remained a planning decision on October 26, 2026, with the city still deciding whether to fund the recommended option.
A seller should watch for the follow-on scope if council chooses decommissioning.
