Summary
City Manager Fred briefed the council on facility service installations, pursuit of SRF funds for a water tower, traffic committee items and his election to the NPPD wholesale customer committee; several operational items and community events were announced.
City Manager Fred reported to the Seward City Council on department activity and upcoming work, including efforts to install services across nearly all city facilities, traffic-committee items under review and pursuit of State Revolving Fund (SRF) financing for a water tower project.
Fred thanked staff by name for assistance on recent projects and said the city has several economic-development items in the pipeline. He noted meetings with SACDP on economic-development projects and that department-head coordination has been ongoing. He described SRF funds as a funding stream the city is working through for the water-tower effort and said some LB40 items (as stated in the meeting) will be taken up at the end of the month.
Fred also said the City of Seward was elected to the NPPD wholesale customer committee after the city signed a new 30-year wholesale contract. He said the committee includes several large wholesale customers and four municipals and that the city's first wholesale-customer meeting is scheduled for tomorrow in Norfolk.
During the report, the council moved and voted on a procedural motion related to items on the agenda (the transcript records a second and voting sequence). No specific personnel actions or ordinance adoptions were recorded in the report segment.
Fred closed by offering to answer questions; none that altered the report were recorded in the transcript.
The council proceeded to other items on the agenda after the report.
