Votes at a glance: Carencro approves millages, sales-tax reimbursement and subdivision filings; two ordinances introduced
Summary
At its meeting the Carencro City Council approved 2025 millages, amended a sales-tax reimbursement for sewer expenditures, introduced two ordinances for first reading, granted a variance and approved a preliminary/final plat for a divided Tract on Iris Street.
The City of Carencro City Council voted on several budget and land-use items during the meeting.
Key votes and outcomes
- Resolution 2025-34: The council levied the 2025 millages on property subject to city taxation. Motion passed on a voice vote (no roll-call tally recorded in the transcript).
- Resolution 2025-36: The council approved an amendment to the 2016 sales-tax reimbursement to the utility fund for sewer expenditures. Motion passed on a voice vote.
- Ordinance 2025-13: Introduced for first reading — ordinance to add Chapter 66 (subdivision design standards, excavation and encroachment permit). Motion to introduce carried.
- Ordinance 2025-14: Introduced for first reading — amendment to the code regarding approved drainage systems. Motion to introduce carried.
- Variance request tied to the preliminary/final plat for 626 Iris Street (division of a tract into Tract 1A and 1B): Planning staff recommended approval contingent on completing identified engineering items; the council voted to grant the variance contingent on full compliance with ordinance requirements prior to any building permits being issued. The transcript recorded “2 nays and 3 for” on that motion and the motion passed.
- Preliminary and final plat (Tract 1 into 1A and 1B): With the variance in place and required items to be completed, the council approved the preliminary and final plat at the planning department—s recommendation.
Procedural notes: Several motions passed by voice vote without a recorded roll call in the transcript. For the variance, a recorded tally was mentioned; individual member votes were not read into the record.
Why it matters: The millage resolution and sales-tax reimbursement affect city revenue and the utility fund, and the plat/variance decisions determine near-term land use and whether sidewalks or ditch closures are required when property is divided. The introduced ordinances will return for subsequent readings if the council advances them.
