Kalona council approves city-funded water connection for Kwik Star/Kwik Trip development
Summary
At a special Oct. 1 meeting the Kalona City Council approved a developers' agreement with Kwik Star/Kwik Trip under which the city will install a 2-inch water service line and 6-inch conduit to connect the site to the city main instead of offering a TIF or tax abatement.
At a special meeting Oct. 1, 2024, the Kalona City Council voted unanimously to approve a developers' agreement with Kwik Star/Kwik Trip under which the city will install a 2-inch water service line and a 6-inch conduit to connect the development to the existing city water main.
Councilmember Spitzer moved to approve the agreement, and Councilmember Bender seconded; the motion carried with all voting yes. Mayor Mark Robe presided over the meeting.
Under the agreement, the city will perform the water connection "in place of issuing a TIF or tax-abatement contract," according to the council minutes. The conduit installation is specified as a 6-inch conduit built to DOT standards to accommodate the 2-inch service line.
The council did not record additional financial details in the meeting summary about installation costs or financing mechanisms beyond the decision to provide the connection rather than a tax incentive. City Clerk Sarah Chmelar signed the minutes recording the action.
The meeting adjourned after the vote.
