Summary
Council approved a package of urban renewal/TIF ordinances (multiple Kettlestone and Waukee Unified amendments), consent agenda items including several ordinance readings related to TIF and consolidated parcels; votes were recorded by roll call with one abstention noted on consent part 2.
At its meeting, the City Council approved multiple urban‑renewal and tax‑increment financing items and routine consent agenda motions in a series of roll‑call votes.
Actions approved included: amendment No. 16 to the Waukee Unified Urban Renewal Plan (removing specified parcels), amendment to consolidate 2025 parcels into the consolidated urban renewal plan, creation/confirmation of Kettlestone Lakes District 1 TIF, amendments to Kettlestone commercial phases and Kettlestone Phase 5 commercial TIF district, and approval of Kettlestone residential projects 2 and 3. Staff described these items as removing or adding parcels consistent with planned development and ensuring tax‑increment revenues support improvements consistent with the renewal plans. Planning & Zoning recommended approval on relevant items.
The consent agenda motions (part 1 and part 2) carried on roll call; Council member Battenberg abstained on consent part 2 due to a professional conflict. Each urban‑renewal ordinance was moved and seconded, and council recorded 'yes' votes for each item as part of the package.
