Huxley council approves SCADA upgrade, business support payment and several traffic ordinances
Summary
At its Jan. 27 meeting the Huxley City Council approved a wastewater SCADA upgrade (Resolution 26-008), a business support payment to Finski’s LLC (Resolution 26-009), approved a consent agenda with multiple routine items, and recorded unanimous readings/adoptions of several traffic-related ordinances. The council also reviewed Comprehensive Plan RFP timing and discussed a bike-path extension.
The Huxley City Council on Jan. 27 approved a package of routine and project-specific items, including a capital purchase to upgrade the wastewater SCADA system, a business-support payment, several traffic ordinances and a consent agenda containing permits, reports and contract steps.
In business session the council approved Resolution No. 26-008, authorizing a 2026 CIP purchase to upgrade SCADA equipment and software for the Wastewater Department (motion by Rigler; second by Roberts). The minutes do not list a dollar amount for the SCADA purchase. Council also approved Resolution No. 26-009 to authorize payment of Economic Development Business Support Program funds to Finski’s LLC (motion by Roberts; second by Mulder); the minutes do not specify the payment amount.
The consent agenda was approved (motion by Mulder; second by Roberts) and included approval of Jan. 13 minutes, payment of bills, the December treasurer’s report, a liquor license for Dollar General, Resolution No. 26-005 (Payment Application No. 3 for the Huxley Public Works Facility Project), and a public hearing set for Feb. 24, 2026 on the 2nd Avenue Water Main Replacement Project.
The minutes record multiple ordinance readings and waivers of rules in the same session. An ordinance appearing in the minutes as Ordinance 556 is listed as amending Chapter 63 (Speed Regulations); the council recorded first, second and third readings (motions and unanimous votes) and approved each reading. Separately, the record also shows Ordinance 557 (Chapter 65, Stop or Yield) and Ordinance 558 (Chapter 69, No Parking Zones) each receiving first, second and third readings and unanimous approval. The minutes use the number 556 for both a rezoning item earlier in the agenda and for a traffic item later in the agenda; the minutes may contain a clerical numbering error and the ordinance numeric assignments should be verified with the city clerk for definitive citation.
Councilmember Rigler asked about the Comprehensive Plan RFPs; City Administrator David Haugland said four RFPs were sent on Jan. 16 and all indicated they will submit proposals, with a submission deadline of Feb. 27 and anticipated proposal review and council action in March. Public Works Director Jeff Peterson presented a proposed 10-foot bike-path extension from the medical center to Campus Drive to connect to the Anthem development trail; council expressed support and directed staff to pursue engineering design discussions.
The meeting adjourned at 6:51 p.m. (motion by Roberts; second by Mulder).
