Votes at a glance: Boone council approves multiple routine measures, sets hearing dates
Summary
The Boone City Council approved a package of resolutions and an ordinance during its meeting, including an urban renewal designation, an easement at 1811 Twelfth Street, a demolition agreement for a collapsed building and placement of a wayfinding sign in the downtown green space.
The Boone City Council approved several routine measures and set dates on other items during its meeting. Items that passed or were scheduled are summarized below.
- Resolution 34‑18: Determined an area of the city to be designated economic development and a blighted area as part of a public hearing on Amendment No. 11 to the Southeast Boone urban renewal plan. The council closed the hearing and adopted the resolution by roll call.
- Resolution 34‑19: Authorized granting an easement at 1811 Twelfth Street. Council moved, seconded and approved the resolution by roll call.
- Resolution 34‑21: Fixed a date for a meeting to consider authorization of a loan agreement and issuance of notes not to exceed $1,500,000. Council approved setting that date by roll call.
- Resolution 34‑22: Authorized a temporary agreement to accept sludge from the City of Ogden’s wastewater plant for up to one year (estimated 60,000–120,000 gallons) at a per‑gallon fee (approx. $0.175/gal discussed in the meeting). Council approved the temporary acceptance by roll call; staff described it as a short-term neighborly arrangement that brings modest revenue to Boone’s wastewater operations.
- Resolution 34‑23: Approved a demolition and asbestos‑abatement agreement for the collapsed building at 1813 Keeler; the city will manage demolition and bill the property owner for 75% of the cost, with the owner required to rebuild a commercial property within 30 months or face assessment, council was told. The committee unanimously recommended approval and council adopted the resolution.
- Wayfinding sign in green space: Council voted to place a county-funded wayfinding sign at the downtown green space partition; motion carried.
- Downtown design guidance: Council approved a package of recommended downtown design guidelines (not adopted as ordinance standards; council described the document as guidance for future grant and design work).
- Ordinance 23‑23: Council waived second reading and adopted an ordinance to change certain city parking regulations.
Consent agenda items and a new liquor license for a business (Bottle Bliss) were approved as part of the consent agenda.
What’s next: Several items (property sale public hearing, alley/easement follow-up and ordinance recodification) were scheduled or deferred for future meetings; staff will return with technical specifications, agreements and, where applicable, funding or contractor details.
