Mitchell City Council approves range of permits, contracts and financing measures
Summary
At its May meeting the Mitchell City Council approved a consent agenda, special-event liquor permit, multiple professional services agreements, several loan and bond resolutions, two tax-increment financing districts and a series of plats, annexation and zoning actions.
The Mitchell City Council voted on a series of routine and project-specific items during its May meeting, approving permits, engineering contracts, revenue-bond and loan-resolution documents, and two tax-increment financing (TIF) districts.
Council approved the consent agenda and a special-event malt-beverage permit for Barney’s LLC for an event at Cabo Park on June 14. The council authorized a seasonal partial closure of the alley between Sixth and Seventh streets (between Main and Raleigh) for a trial period from Memorial Day to Labor Day, using removable concrete barriers as the initial option.
The council approved professional services agreements including a continuing water-modeling contract with AE2S (not to exceed $20,000) and a design contract with SPN and Associates for the Hitchcock Park tennis-court project (design and bidding phase, not-to-exceed $52,700).
On financing, the council adopted multiple resolutions required by state revolving-fund loan procedures: amendments implementing surcharges for CW‑13, CW‑15 and DWO‑8 (water and sewer project surcharges), a resolution approving sewer-facility improvements and a resolution approving drinking-water facility improvements. The council also approved other grant‑pass‑through TIFs and related project plans.
Two tax-increment districts were approved: TIF 41 to support a 70-unit apartment project by Paul Groeneweg, LLC (project plan includes developer certification steps and an optional future allocation for Matty Street), and TIF 42 to support an expansion of Dale’s A‑One business (developer-requested increment $340,105). The council approved plats, a right-of-way vacation in Bayside Overlook, and an annexation at 5213 Fiala Road.
The council completed a second reading and adoption of an ordinance to stagger mayoral and council election terms and then recessed to an executive session for negotiations.
Votes at the meeting were recorded as motions carried; individual roll-call tallies were not printed on every item in the online transcript.
