During a recent government meeting, the council unanimously approved resolution number 2024r53, allowing the redevelopment agency of Mid Bell City to enter into a subrecipient pass-through agreement for community development block grant funding. This funding will support the agency's home repair loan program, aimed at enhancing housing conditions in the area.

Following the resolution, public comments were reopened, where residents voiced concerns regarding issues at the Jordan Bluffs condominiums. Sarah Hammond, a resident, highlighted significant frustrations with the current parking situation and amenities provided by the homeowners association (HOA) and the developer, Holmes Homes.

Hammond pointed out that the development currently has 130 units, with plans to add 40 more, yet there are fewer than 45 visitor parking spaces available. Each unit is assigned two end-to-end parking spaces, which many residents find difficult to navigate. This has led to overflow into visitor spaces, exacerbating the parking crunch, particularly for households with multiple adult residents.

Additionally, Hammond expressed dissatisfaction with the amenities being promised by the HOA, noting that despite paying approximately $200 monthly in dues, residents have seen little progress on promised facilities. She indicated that the timeline for these amenities has been inconsistent, leaving residents frustrated and seeking immediate solutions.

Another resident, True DeMille, was also present to support Hammond's comments and suggest potential solutions to the ongoing issues. The council's engagement with these community concerns reflects a growing awareness of the challenges faced by residents in rapidly developing areas.
