Summary
The council approved two ordinances on third reading, a final plat for First Development Park Lot 5, a certificate of uncollectible municipal debt, HDR task order No. 2 for apron rehabilitation engineering, and two grant requests to fund the airport apron rehab project; it also approved bills and claims totaling $725,362.35.
During the meeting the City Council approved a slate of routine and project-related items, including two ordinances on third reading, a final plat, accounting write-offs, an airport engineering task order, and two grant requests that will fund an airport apron rehabilitation project.
The council approved ordinance No. 7 20 24 on third reading and ordinance No. 1 20 25 on third reading; both motions passed on voice votes with members saying “aye.” The council also approved the final plat of Phase 1 of First Development Park Lot 5, which the record shows is associated with ordinance No. 1 in 2025; that motion passed on a voice vote.
On financial matters, the council moved to approve bills and claims totaling $725,362.35. A member of the council stated an abstention on item No. 36 (noted as “power to review” in the record). The council also approved a certificate of uncollectible municipal debt for items older than 10 years, with a total of $23,865.62 to be written off; the police department had previously reviewed a subset of those debts.
Regarding the municipal airport, the council approved HDR task order No. 2 for engineering and construction management services for the apron rehabilitation project and authorized all necessary signatures. The council then approved two grant requests connected to the apron rehab: a BIL (Bipartisan Infrastructure Law) funds request and an AIP (Airport Improvement Program) NPE fund request. City staff said the municipality’s share of the apron project is approximately 2.5% with the majority funded by FAA and other program funds.
All the actions above were approved on voice votes recorded in the transcript as “aye” and “motion carried;” no roll-call tallies were read into the meeting minutes included in the transcript.
Ending Staff will complete administrative steps to execute contracts, finalize the final plat paperwork, and process the write-offs and grant applications; council members indicated staff will return if additional approvals are needed.
