- Amendment No. 3 to Agreement A2021‑10 with Helms & Associates (recycling transfer station): Council approved an amendment for additional construction phase services not to exceed $30,500 due to extended contractor time; motion carried (mover: Councilor McCardell; second: Councilor Goldhammer).
- Agreement A2025‑309 with HDR Engineering (Firesteel Creek FEMA mapping review): Council approved a not‑to‑exceed agreement of $27,645 for HDR to review FEMA hydraulic modeling and incorporate new survey data; motion carried.
- Resolution R2025‑46 (plat outside city limits within ETJ): Council approved the platting resolution as presented; planning commission recommended unanimous approval and the item will proceed to the county for parallel action.
- Ordinance O2025‑008 (rezoning; adoption): Council completed first and second reading and adopted ordinance O2025‑008 as shown on the agenda; roll call vote recorded ‘‘Aye’’ and motion carried.
- Ordinance O2025‑009 (25‑acre PUD rezoning; first reading): Council placed ordinance O2025‑009 on first reading as presented after debate and a failed amendment to reclassify several commercial uses as conditional uses. The amendment to move convenience store/car wash/fuel uses to conditional status was defeated; the original motion to place O2025‑009 on first reading carried.
Notes on voting and procedure
- Several items were handled by motion and voice vote; where roll calls were recorded in the transcript the meeting log lists aye/nay results and the minutes show motions carried. For conditional‑use approvals in the future, the city’s ordinance requires six affirmative votes on the council.
- No contract awards require additional council appropriation beyond the existing budgets unless otherwise specified; staff recommended the formal contract language and final exhibits be brought back for signature following administrative review.
For reference: the meeting included extended public comment periods, multiple ordinance readings and a schematic presentation of a Corn Palace renovation (no construction contract awarded).
