Boone council schedules property-sale hearing, approves loan-note resolution and several public-works and safety measures
Summary
The Boone City Council set a February public hearing for the proposed sale of 932 8th Street, adopted a resolution to set a date for issuing up to $2,146,000 in general obligation capital loan notes, and approved a series of public-works and safety items including a change order reduction for a water-treatment project and installation of flashing stop lights.
The Boone City Council on Monday agreed to set a Feb. public hearing on the proposed sale of 932 8th Street and adopted a resolution to fix a date for authorization of general obligation capital loan notes not to exceed $2,146,000.
Council President (unnamed in the transcript) moved the hearing and the motion passed on a roll-call vote. The council then approved a resolution to set a meeting date to consider issuing the loan notes; the motion carried by roll call.
In other formal actions, the council approved a public-safety recommendation to add flashing lights at Allen Street and 8th Street, remove a temporary center-road stop sign and relocate a permanent stop sign, a change the public-safety committee said uses existing downtown lighting fixtures and only minor electrical work is required.
The council also approved Change Order No. 1 for the Water Treatment Plant Ground Forage Reservoir Rehabilitation project, which staff described as a net deduction of approximately $66,000 after the electrical contractor installed temporary cabling that reduced the need for later work. Wayland Andrews, director of public works (as identified in the department report), presented the item to the council.
Council members approved a resolution changing Wayland Andrews’ title to Public Works Director/Project Manager and adopted the consent agenda by unanimous roll call. There were no recorded negative votes on the formal items presented during the meeting.
What happens next: The sale of 932 8th Street will be considered at the public hearing scheduled for February; the loan-note authorization will be considered at the meeting date set by the adopted resolution. Installation and construction steps for the public-works items will proceed under staff direction as approved by the council.
