Nevada council approves wastewater project closeout, multiple ordinances and a development agreement
The Nevada City Council approved a slate of routine and substantive items, including the closeout of a wastewater construction phase, several code changes on second reading, and a development agreement using tax-increment financing.

Most important actions: the council accepted completion of the wastewater treatment Phase 4 project and approved pay request number 20 from On Track Construction in the amount of $7,280.05. Council also adopted a set of ordinances on second reading that amend municipal code chapters on nuisance abatement (Ordinance No. 1070), dangerous buildings/fire hazards (Ordinance No. 1071), land development/zoning to prohibit certain storage uses downtown (Ordinance No. 1072), sewer-use services (Ordinance No. 1074), and updated off-street parking requirements (Ordinance No. 1075). Each item was moved, seconded, and approved; the meeting transcript records approvals but does not list individual roll-call tallies.

A separate resolution (Resolution No. 30) approved a development agreement with Midstates Material Handling and Fabrication, including annual tax-increment appropriation payments to support the development. The council also handled minor procedural business (approval of the agenda and consent items) and removed item 4I from the consent agenda for separate consideration (the SafeBuild inspection agreement to be limited to electrical inspections under amended contract language).

What to watch next: staff follow-ups on the SafeBuild contract language and any implementing paperwork for the Midstates development agreement; if available, the city clerk's office will post the formal ordinance and resolution texts and the agenda packet includes the pay request amount and vendor name.
