Council approves agenda, pays $199,419.44 in bills and authorizes DEQ sewer application for Stonecrest
Summary
The city council approved the meeting agenda and minutes, paid $199,419.44 in bills, approved a retail liquor-license transfer, appointed Jeff Sheridan to the Board of Adjustments, approved two ordinances on second reading and authorized a DEQ water‑quality application to extend sewer service 1,200 feet for the Stonecrest Subdivision.
The mayor called the meeting to order and the City Council voted to approve the agenda, adopt the minutes from the Jan. 20 regular and special meetings and pay bills and claims totaling $199,419.44.
The council then approved a transfer of a retail liquor license for the business at 241 West Coulter Avenue from Pit Stop 12 LLC to Bailey Enterprises, Inc., and appointed Jeff Sheridan to the Board of Adjustments.
The council also approved two ordinances on second reading: “ordinance number 7 20 24” and “Awareness number 1 20 25” (as read on the meeting record). Both were adopted on second reading with no recorded roll-call tallies in the transcript and concluded by voice vote.
Zach, a city staff member, presented a Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) water‑quality application related to the Stonecrest Subdivision, describing it as a standard permitting step to allow sewer service to extend into a new development. "This is just getting ahead of the game with DEQ permitting," Zach said, explaining the submission is commonly required for water and wastewater connections.
Spencer Fry, representing EA Engineering Associates and the Stonecrest applicant, said the request is limited to sewer service: "This one's just for sewer and that we can serve an an extension of 1,200 linear feet into our system. It's pretty standard on these new subdivisions." Council members moved to authorize the DEQ application and to permit staff to execute necessary signatures; the motion passed by voice vote.
Other routine items on the consent portion of the agenda — including approval of the agenda itself and the Jan. 20 minutes — were approved with voice votes and no recorded roll-call counts in the meeting record. The mayor announced the next council meeting would be held Tuesday, Feb. 18, because the city is closed for Presidents Day on Monday the 17th.
The meeting closed with a brief discussion about the old Froggy Pool site and a note that a small exterior restroom was not included in a grant application; council members said staff may pursue additional restroom facilities in the future.
