Arapahoe council approves utility mapping subscription, façade grants and $500 STEM donation; resident urges cleanup and signage
Summary
The council approved a subscription to Subsurface Solutions for utility mapping, awarded façade grants to two businesses, and donated $500 to the Arapahoe School STEM class. Public commenter Ruth Haarberg urged a City-Wide Cleanup and suggested signage for the EMCC building.
At its Jan. 20 meeting, the Arapahoe City Council approved a subscription purchase for utility mapping software, awarded two façade improvement grants and approved a $500 donation to the Arapahoe School STEM class.
The City Superintendent presented the final tree-inventory report (compiled with assistance from Miss Gunderson’s class) and proposed purchasing a subscription to Subsurface Solutions and a mapping node for the city’s utility system; the council approved the purchase by roll-call motion, with the minutes recording four ayes and two absentees. Council also approved donating $500 to the STEM class after a motion by tenBensel and second by Kreutzer; the motion carried by roll call.
Under the consent agenda, the council approved building permits for Scott Williamson (new home) and Aaron Strode (backyard fence) and granted façade improvement awards to Faw’s Garage ($5,000) and Day & Night Services ($976). The consent-agenda motion was moved by Middagh, seconded by Paulsen, and recorded as approved by roll call with four ayes and two absentees.
During public forum, resident Ruth Haarberg spoke with ideas and concerns related to the City-Wide Cleanup planned for spring and proposed placing a sign at the EMCC building to help visitors find the council room. The minutes record her remarks but do not show a formal council response or an action tied to the suggestion.
What happens next: The approved software subscription and mapping node should be procured by the superintendent’s office and recorded in city asset inventories; façade grants will be disbursed to the named businesses and the $500 donation will be processed for the school program under the clerk’s disbursement procedures.
