Finance meeting recommends small façade grants for 3rd Street property
Summary
The finance meeting recommended approval of two small façade grants through the Redevelopment Incentive Program for a 3rd Street property after the applicant reported hidden rot and sheathing damage; the motion passed by roll call.
The finance meeting on Tuesday recommended approving Redevelopment Incentive Program (RIP) façade grants totaling $2,603.50 for the south-facing facade and $3,733 for the west-facing facade for the premises listed in the meeting packet.
An applicant told the committee that contractors discovered extensive sheathing damage and rot after opening the walls, creating unanticipated repair costs. “As we opened the walls up, we saw found a lot of damage to the sheathing, a lot of rot, things like that,” the applicant said, explaining why she returned to request additional assistance beyond a previously approved roof ramp.
Alderman Herndon moved to recommend approval of the request and Crane seconded. The committee conducted a roll-call vote: Alderman Dimas — aye; Reynolds — aye; Jepsen — aye; Herndon — aye; Crane — aye. The motion carried.
Committee discussion was brief; one member noted H and H submitted the low bid for the work. No objections were recorded on the record. The committee did not set an effective date or further conditions in the recorded discussion.
The item will proceed per the committee’s recommendation for the redevelopment incentive funding and was recorded as approved in the meeting minutes.
