Summary

Council adopted a special voting procedure and selected projects for the Infrastructure Capital Improvement Plan (ICIP); preliminary tallies showed flood damage repairs, a citywide drainage study and transit center renovations among the top vote-getters and council resolved ties during the meeting.

The City Council on July 10 approved a special rules process to rank projects for the city’s Infrastructure Capital Improvement Plan and, following roll-call sticker voting and tie resolution, identified several projects for inclusion.

What happened: Council adopted a special-rule motion governing a sticker-vote process for the ICIP, allowing each councilor five votes to allocate among candidate projects with a built tie-breaking procedure. Preliminary tallies during the meeting found three projects tied with the highest vote counts: flood damage repairs citywide, a citywide drainage study and transit center renovations.

Tie-resolution and outcomes: Several projects tied at lower counts, creating a three-way tie among candidates including a four-lane Country Club road engineering item and two fire-related projects (Fire Station No. 2 female living quarters and a fire engine/pumper purchase). Councilors used a negative-vote filter and roll-call method to remove one tie item (the fire engine/pumper was cut in the meeting’s negative-vote step) and to finalize the five projects to be sent forward under the resolution.

Why it matters: The ICIP list is used to prioritize capital projects and to make candidate projects available for grant applications and future budgeting. The adopted special rule and in-meeting tie-breaking reduced the need for additional hearings and produced an immediate set of projects for the ICIP resolution.

Ending: City staff will publish the adopted ICIP resolution and next steps for submitting the prioritized projects to the state and will follow the council’s adopted ordering and tie-resolution record.
