The City of Fremont Citizens Advisory Review Committee on April 28 reviewed eligibility criteria and recommended the City Council approve two Local Option Economic Development Fund applications. The meeting took place at the Municipal Building and was opened with public notice and a posted copy of the Open Meetings Law.
Angie Olson, Plan Administrator, presented an overview of proposed revisions to the committee’s eligibility tier matrix and then reviewed the matrix as applied to housing-related projects, answering members’ questions. The committee discussed the matrix but made no motions on the revisions or housing-specific guidance at this meeting.
On two separate agenda items the committee voted to recommend City Council approval of funding applications. For the Quad County application, Olson provided the staff overview and representatives of Quad County answered questions. Member Proskovec moved to recommend approval and Member Wiese seconded; the motion passed unanimously with votes recorded in favor by Wiese, Johannsen, Schulz, Meyer and Proskovec (5-0).
For the Fremont Area Habitat for Humanity application, Olson and a representative of Fremont Area Habitat for Humanity answered committee questions before Member Proskovec moved and Member Wiese seconded a recommendation that the City Council approve that application. The motion carried unanimously with recorded ayes by Meyer, Proskovec, Schulz, Wiese and Johannsen (5-0).
Earlier in the meeting the committee approved the minutes of its March 3, 2026 meeting following a motion by Member Wiese and a second by Member Proskovec; that motion also carried 5-0.
