Council places intergovernmental agreement, final plat, fireworks and engineering contracts on consent agenda; senior housing support resolution included
Summary
Staff presented a set of routine items to place on the consent agenda, including an IGA with Douglas County, the Fairway 17 final plat, a fireworks contract, wastewater engineering services for $61,050, and a resolution of support for a senior housing proposal.
At the March 18 work session staff reviewed items proposed for the consent agenda and council heard brief summaries before placing items on the consent list for the upcoming council meeting.
Items staff said would be on the consent agenda include:
- Intergovernmental agreement with Douglas County and the Douglas County Tax Commissioner's Office (billing/election services for Douglas-side parcels).
- Fairway 17 final plat (Mirror Lake subdivision): Staff reported fees and bonds have been posted, 127,000 in performance bond posted, walking path and gazebo conditions remain; staff recommended approval.
- July 3 fireworks contractor: Parks & Recreation reported one responsive bid from PyroShows East Coast (the incumbent); staff recommended awarding the annual fireworks contract (noting prior-year cost of $35,000 and reasons for a modest increase).
- Wastewater engineering services agreement: Wastewater operations manager requested an engineering service agreement to develop required environmental/engineering reports and an anti‑degradation report related to waste-load allocation; total $61,050.
- Resolution and letter of support for a proposed senior low‑income housing project (Arbor Valleys) at 193–201 Cleghorn Street for up to 64 senior units; staff said the developer changed the vehicle access to avoid routing vehicles through adjacent residential streets and that the project previously had planning and zoning support.
Nut graf: Staff summarized that several items were routine contract, development or grant‑support matters and that some items (e.g., liquor licenses, sign ordinance and other zoning text amendments) will require public hearings and were not being placed on consent.
Ending: Council read the draft consent list at the end of the meeting and confirmed items will appear on the consent agenda at the next regular meeting; formal council votes to adopt the listed items will occur at that meeting.
