Developer says city verbally promised half of Main Street extension cost; council says no written agreement
Summary
Developer Gardner told the Huxley City Council he believed the city would reimburse half the cost to extend South Main Avenue; council members said there is no written documentation and emphasized that reimbursement agreements must be in writing and properly filed.
Developer Gardner told the Huxley City Council at a work session on Aug. 7, 2024, that he believed the city had agreed to reimburse him for half the cost of constructing an extension of South Main Avenue related to the Anthem Development.
Council members responded that they were not aware of any written agreement to reimburse Gardner and noted that an earlier partial extension was installed years ago by the Huxley Development Corporation; councilmembers said they were unsure why that earlier extension was never completed. Members emphasized the importance of putting any future reimbursement or cost-sharing agreements in writing and properly filing such documents.
No formal vote or reimbursement commitment was recorded during the session. Mayor Dave Kuhn thanked Gardner and his team for their time and for keeping the project moving forward. The council did not specify any dollar amounts or identify a funding source during the work session.
