Summary
The Redevelopment Commission approved the confirmatory resolution for Allocation Area No. 5 (designating Prometheus Energetics), adopted the 2026 spending plan, authorized a farm-lease negotiation and execution, approved three claims for payment, and set the 2026 meeting schedule.
At the meeting, the Greene County Redevelopment Commission approved several formal actions by voice vote.
Minutes: The commission approved the October meeting minutes by voice vote after a motion and second.
Allocation area and Prometheus designation: Commissioners approved Resolution 20 25 tax 0 5—confirming an amendment to the economic development plan to expand Allocation Area No. 5 and naming Prometheus Energetics as a designated taxpayer for purposes of business personal property capture. The motion was moved and seconded and passed by voice vote.
2026 spending plan: Commissioners approved the 2026 annual spending plan, described as a cash-flow tracking document with most expenditures tied to existing debt service. Staff said Prometheus-related revenue would likely not be realized until 2027–2028 depending on construction and assessment timing.
Lease authorization: The board authorized the president to finalize negotiations and execute a farm lease with Samuel Graber (to succeed Jim Melton) subject to final revisions; the lease terms discussed included a $130-per-acre rent across several small parcels (three in Greene County).
Claims: The commission approved payment of three claims: a small claim ($75) from Big Bear Ridge, $1,360 for a sewer study by Westlaw Engineering, and $6,400 to Barnes & Thornburg for legal services; staff noted a possibility of reimbursement by Prometheus for some legal costs.
Meeting schedule: The board rescheduled the December meeting from Christmas Day to Dec. 19 at 8:30 a.m., with authority granted to the president to cancel if there is no pressing business. The commission also set meeting dates for 2026 as the fourth Thursday at 8:30 a.m. (with a scheduling exception in January).
Adjournment: The meeting adjourned after final remarks.
