Votes at a glance
- Approval of minutes from Feb. 26, 2025 — Motion to approve the minutes passed unanimously.
- Action Item 2: Options Charter School — Board approved an amended and restated termination of payment-in-lieu-of-taxes agreement. City staff said the amendment removes wording that would have removed the school's existing tax-exempt status; the change simply clarifies the parties' intent not to request removal of exemptions.
- Action Item 3: Najim Family Real Estate, 207 Mill Street — Road impact fee installment agreement approved. Michael Pierce, city engineer, described this as a standard state-statutory installment agreement that spreads the road impact fee over five years; staff said construction activity has already begun on the project.
- Action Item 4: Clark Dietz on-call plan review services — Board approved Amendment 1, adding $40,000 to an existing on-call plan review agreement to supplement staff plan-review capacity when project volume or complexity requires outside help.
- Action Item 6: Union Square multifamily road impact fee credit agreement — Board approved a road impact fee credit agreement for public infrastructure improvements related to the Union Square downtown development. Staff described the credit as a "bridal agreement" (construction credit) in the approximate range of $800,000 (exact amount not specified in the transcript).
- Consent agenda: March bond list and related consent items were approved as submitted.
Each motion was moved and seconded and recorded as passing; the chair announced each motion as approved with a voice "Aye." Where the transcript did not record named seconds or roll-call tallies, the board announced approval by voice vote.
Several of the items were described by Michael Pierce, city engineer, and city staff clarified statutory authority and administrative processes where relevant. The board did not identify additional restrictions on the use of proceeds from the training center sale (separate item); the consent agenda and contract approvals were routine municipal actions necessary to advance capital projects and development reviews.
