Panora council approves CDBG contract, LMI payment and extension request for 113 E Main project
Summary
The Panora City Council unanimously approved CDBG Contract 23-HSGU-005 for $13,507, authorized a $10,000 LMI payment to TDS Industries for 113 E Main after Region XII confirmed two approved tenants, and agreed to request a state timeline extension to qualify a third tenant.
The Panora City Council on Jan. 26 unanimously approved a Community Development Block Grant action tied to a housing project on 113 E Main and agreed to seek more time from the state to qualify an additional tenant.
In the meeting chaired by Mayor Pro-tem Brian Dorsett, councilors voted to approve GAX #14 CDBG Contract 23-HSGU-005 in the amount of $13,507. Blake Michelsen moved to approve the contract; Mark Sheeder seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
The council also reviewed Region XII’s documentation showing two tenants had been approved for the 113 E Main unit. Based on that proof, the council approved a $10,000 low-to-moderate-income (LMI) funding payment to TDS Industries, LLC. Roger Dorr moved approval; Tom Flanery seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
Region XII requested the council submit a timeline extension to the state so the program can qualify a third tenant under the CDBG award. Mark Sheeder moved to authorize submission of the extension request; Roger Dorr seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
Why it matters: the votes advance use of federal CDBG funds administered locally to support housing occupancy requirements tied to LMI assistance. The council’s actions keep the project moving while allowing Region XII additional time to meet the program’s tenant-qualification goals.
What’s next: the city will submit the timeline extension to the state as approved; the transcript does not specify a deadline for that request or the projected date to qualify a third tenant.
