Freeport council approves sewer service payment, event permit and planning contracts
Summary
At its June 9 meeting the City of Freeport approved a Chelco sewer payment, a baseball tournament permit, an Anchor CI scope for a pedestrian master plan (grant plus local match), and an Anchor CI scope for the required comprehensive plan update.
Beyond major land‑use items, the City of Freeport council took routine and planning actions on June 9.
Sewer: Council approved a motion to pay Chelco $212,456 for sewer service work; the motion carried with all councilmembers present voting in the affirmative.
Events: Council approved a baseball tournament request for the sports complex on August 1–2 covering fields 1–4; the applicant was present and the motion carried unanimously.
Planning contracts: Planning staff asked council to approve two scopes of services with Anchor CI. First, a pedestrian/multimodal master plan scope totaling $206,180 will be funded mostly with a Safe Routes for All (SR4A) grant of $168,000; staff proposed covering the $38,180 gap from the streets line item and council approved. Second, Anchor CI will assist with the comprehensive plan update under a scope of $76,570; most funding is expected from technical assistance grants with a small $1,570 local match. Council approved both scopes.
Council noted a minor typo in the pedestrian plan funding memo (the difference is $38,180 and would come from the streets line item), and planning staff and finance confirmed available local match funding.
Votes on these items were unanimous among councilmembers present; staff will proceed with contract execution and event permit issuance.
