Summary
Council approved Resolution 6775 (demolition plans and bid schedule for 609 East First Street), Resolution 6776 (consent to partial assignment of a private development agreement), and placed Ordinance 1053 on second reading (Prairie Ridge West urban renewal area); consent agenda and abstract of bills were also approved.
At this meeting the Pella City Council approved several formal items by motion and roll-call vote:
Resolution 6775 — Demolition, 609 East First Street: Staff presented plans, specifications, notice of hearing and notice of letting; council moved (mover stated as Butler) and approved the resolution. Staff estimated the probable cost at about $425,000 and indicated the proposed funding source is a general obligation bond; a bid opening was scheduled for Dec. 11 with contract consideration projected Dec. 17 and a target project completion by June 30 of next year.
Resolution 6776 — Consent to partial assignment of development agreement: Staff explained the consent to assign development rights from Pella Entertainment Group LLC to PCD Entertainment LLC for the venue; council moved and approved the consent to assignment (mover stated as D. Young with Carlstone noted in the motion sequence).
Ordinance 1053 — Prairie Ridge West urban renewal area (second reading): Staff presented the second reading explaining that the mechanism would allow the city to rebate incremental property taxes over a 15-year period to reimburse a roughly $4.5 million public-infrastructure cost for a proposed ~90-house subdivision; council moved to place it on second reading and approved that action.
Other procedural actions: the consent agenda and the abstract of bills (number 21663) were approved by roll call.
Vote tallies: roll-call votes for these items were recorded as affirmative by the council members whose names were read aloud (the roll call included Young, Vanin, Butler, Carlstone and Hopkins). No negative or abstaining votes were recorded in the transcript for these items.
