Why This Matters

The conditional approval matters because it shows council was willing to move the agreement forward, but only if McKinney consents. That kind of condition can be decisive in whether a project actually proceeds or stalls at the utility-service stage.

Why we flagged it: This item ties development progress to intercity utility consent, making it more than a routine infrastructure agreement.

What approval means

The agreement can move forward, but only if the required written consent from McKinney is secured.

If it had failed

The Tivoli wastewater path would have needed a different agreement or further negotiation.

Potential Pros

Lets the city move the project forward without dropping the outside-consent safeguard.
Makes the condition explicit rather than implied.

Potential Cons

Project progress still depends on another city’s written consent.
Conditional approvals can look cleaner on paper than they are in practice.
