Summary

At its Sept. 22 meeting the Amherst City Council voted to send an ordinance approving a final development plan for part of parcel 0500044000106 to third reading and scheduled two finance committee items — a reappropriation ordinance and a proposed food-truck fee reduction — for committee review Oct. 13.

The Amherst City Council voted 6-0 on Sept. 22 to send an ordinance approving a final development plan for a portion of parcel 0500044000106 to a third reading. The plan covers construction of an unheated storage building for use by North Coast Design Build LLC.

Councilmember Heberling moved to send the item to third reading and Councilmember Dembinski seconded. The roll-call recorded six yes votes: Inarski, Dembinski, Wolkos, Neihorn, Janick and Heberling. The motion passed 6 to 0.

The ordinance the council advanced was described on the agenda as “An ordinance approving the final development plan for the proposed development of a portion of Parcel number 0500044000106 for the purpose of constructing an unheated storage building for use by North Coast Design Build LLC.” The meeting record shows no extended on-the-record debate about the merits of the plan during this session.

Separately, the council scheduled two finance committee items for Monday, Oct. 13, at 6:30 p.m.: ordinance A-25-31, a reappropriation of funds across multiple accounts “to cover expenses through the year end,” and ordinance A-25-32, a proposed reduction in the food-truck fee. Finance Committee chair Dimbinsky called both items and said he would place them on the committee agenda for Oct. 13. The transcript notes the food-truck fee reduction was submitted by Chuck Winarski shortly before the meeting.

During miscellaneous public comment, Councilmember Janick read a notice posted on the community events page regarding the city’s trick-or-treat hours: “the trick or treat is announced for Friday the 30 first at 6 from 6 to 07:30PM.”
