Votes at a glance: Homewood City Finance Committee, March 3, 2025
Summary
The Finance Committee approved several procedural and project-related motions by unanimous voice votes and carried over one unsolicited proposal to a later meeting. Actions include forwarding a Piggly Wiggly tax-incentive amendment to council without recommendation and adding the Kenilworth stormwater item back to the committee agenda.
The Homewood City Finance Committee on March 3 completed several votes on agenda items, taking unanimous action on motions to forward or remove items and carrying over one unsolicited proposal to a later meeting.
Key votes - Tax incentive amendment (agenda item 14 11 24): The committee voted to send a proposed amendment to a tax incentive agreement regarding the Piggly Wiggly construction project to the City Council without recommendation, pending a public hearing next Monday. Voice vote: 3-0 to forward without recommendation.
- Solar-powered speed sign request (agenda item O40225): The committee voted to drop the request for a solar-powered speed sign on Robson Road after staff said existing signs will be relocated from Wellington Road; voice vote: 3-0 to drop the item.
- Unsolicited proposal regarding old police headquarters (agenda item O60225): Committee members agreed to carry the unsolicited proposal from Mike Moran over to the March 17 meeting; no objection recorded (carryover).
- Kenilworth stormwater project (agenda item O020225): The committee voted to add the Kenilworth stormwater project back to the finance committee agenda so staff can continue to provide updates until project completion. Motion by Councilor Smith; second by Jody. Voice vote: 3-0.
- Service agreement for City Hall chiller (agenda item 20O225): The committee authorized the mayor to sign a reinstated quarterly service maintenance agreement with the chiller contractor (retroactive to March 1 through Sept. 30, 2025). Voice vote: 3-0. (See separate article for details on energy savings and contract terms.)
Context and next steps Several votes were procedural and reflected staff updates: the Robson Road sign relocation will not require additional city funds, and the Kenilworth stormwater item was returned to the committee agenda so staff can provide completion updates. The Piggly Wiggly amendment will proceed to the council for a public hearing on the next council meeting.
Ending Committee members requested that staff communicate scheduling and materials for the forwarded items and that proponents of carried items be informed of the March 17 date where noted.
