Zach, city staff, opened the meeting’s old‑business reports and provided status updates on multiple development sites.

On the Ironman apartment complex, Zach said the city has a kickoff meeting with the developer scheduled for the coming Thursday to review progress on tax‑credit applications and the economic development agreement. He said the developer has not said they cannot obtain tax credits but that tax‑credit capacity is tight “for the next 2 to 3 years” and the developer may have to pursue alternatives. Zach said the developer and the mayor would attend the meeting and invited other staff to join.

On Liberty Lakes, Zach reported that construction is progressing quickly: roofing, HVAC and much of the infrastructure are installed. He said the developer will appear before the Board of Zoning Appeals next week for two variances (road width and lot width) and that electric, gas and fiber service crews are scheduled to begin work in about two weeks. Zach added that water meter pits (about 10) still needed installation and that the forced sewer system had not yet been pressure‑tested; staff are working out testing specifications.

On the 12‑acre property, Zach said a developer had submitted site plans and the city and state had provided comments; Mark Hellmick, the city building inspector, had provided structural comments. Zach said the developer had returned to the drawing board and that state approval is required before city permits can be finalized. He described the item as contingent on state and city plan approvals and said he had not received a recent update on the developer’s schedule.

These items were presented as updates; no formal votes or motions on these projects were recorded in the transcript.
