The Bartlett Board of Mayor and Aldermen recorded several formal actions at its regular meeting, including a school budget amendment, motions to set public hearings on two second‑reading ordinances, approval of consent items and a vote to advance a tax‑increment financing (TIF) economic‑impact plan.
Key votes and motions
- Minutes: The board approved the Oct. 28 meeting minutes unanimously.
- Ordinance 25‑06 (5866 Ivanhoe rezoning): Second reading was held and the board voted 6‑0 to set a public hearing for Nov. 25. The board and staff emphasized that the vote only schedules the public hearing and does not approve the rezoning itself.
- Ordinance 25‑07 (amendment to Title 10, chapters 1 and 2 — bridal control ordinance): Second reading was set for Nov. 25 and passed 6‑0.
- Consent agenda: Items 1 and 3 were approved unanimously.
- Consent item 2 (Amendment to minimum bond/subdivision contract for Sanctuary Subdivision Phase 1): After discussion about paving timing and previously waived developer fees, the amendment passed 5‑1. During roll call Alderman Quinn recorded a 'No.'
- Consent item 4 (Bartlett Area Chamber of Commerce agreement): After staff described a proposed one‑year agreement continuing city funding of $35,000 annually tied to measurable deliverables, the board approved the agreement 6‑0.
- Resolution 41‑25 (Bartlett City Schools FY2026 amendment): Finance Director Phoebus said the board of education requested a $7,200,000 amendment to the general purpose school fund and capital projects (including $1,900,000 for an elementary roof and $5,300,000 for a high school practice facility). The resolution passed unanimously, 6‑0.
- Resolution 42‑25 (IDB economic impact plan for Public Safety & Green Space Preservation TIF): The board approved the IDB economic‑impact plan by a recorded vote of 5‑1; the clerk announced the outcome and staff said the plan will be forwarded to the county commission for committee review and a December final vote.
Notes on tallies and attribution: Where the transcript recorded roll calls or tallies it was noted in the minutes above. Individual roll call votes were not always read aloud for every action; the transcript explicitly records Alderman Quinn saying 'No' on one vote.
Next steps: Items that required public hearings were scheduled for Nov. 25; the school budget amendment is effective per local procedures; the TIF plan now proceeds to county commission committee review and a final vote expected in December.
Actions recorded in the meeting record are reflected as listed above.
