EDA adopts resolution to expand development-district boundary to city limits
Summary
The New Prague EDA held a public hearing and adopted Resolution 25-8-13-1 to modify the boundaries of Development District No. 1, extending the district to the city limits; no public comments were offered and the board approved the resolution by voice votes.
The New Prague City Economic Development Authority adopted Resolution 25-8-13-1 on a voice vote after a public hearing that drew no public commenters.
A staff member told the board the modification would extend the EDA boundary to the city limits to allow greater flexibility for future economic development projects. The staff member said the boundary change "doesn't raise taxes" and that inclusion in the boundary would not force property owners to participate in future EDA initiatives.
Becky, speaking for economic development, described the update as largely ministerial. She said the EDA likely completed a similar delineation years ago but the earlier resolution could not be located; updating the boundary now, she said, brings the official record in line with current annexations and operations.
The board opened the public hearing, invited comment and heard none. The public-hearing segment was closed by motion and second, and the board then moved and seconded a motion to adopt Resolution 25-8-13-1. Both the motion to close the hearing and the motion to adopt the resolution passed by voice vote.
The resolution was presented as a procedural step to keep the full city available for potential EDA programs and projects. No specifics about immediate projects, incentives or changes to taxation were announced at the meeting.
The board approved routine minutes and payment claims earlier in the meeting, including payment claims totaling $3,026, by separate voice vote.
Next steps: staff indicated the EDA may revisit district boundaries periodically after annexations; no additional action or implementation timeline was announced during the meeting.
