Reed City Council sets Jan. 13 public hearing on Downtown Development Authority and adopts new city logo
Summary
The council adopted a resolution of intent to establish a Downtown Development Authority under Public Act 57 and scheduled a public hearing for Jan. 13, 2025 at 6 p.m.; it also approved a new city logo and several planning appointments.
The Reed City Council on Nov. 18 adopted Resolution 2024-18 declaring its intent to establish a Downtown Development Authority (DDA) and set a public hearing for Jan. 13, 2025 at 6 p.m. at Reed City Hall.
The resolution, offered by Council member Trevor Guiles and seconded by Dan Burchett, states the city proposes establishing a DDA and designating a downtown district pursuant to Public Act 57 of 2018; the council voted to proceed and will accept public comment at the Jan. 13 hearing. The minutes record council members Roger Meinert, Dan Burchett, Brad Nixon, Nicole Woodside, Charles Lupo and Trevor Guiles voting in favor and none opposed.
At the same meeting council approved a new Reed City logo described in the minutes as a white circle with railroad tracks across the bottom and a darkened roof at the top. Council complimented the design and approved it by roll call.
The council also addressed planning commission membership: Trevor Guiles was nominated and appointed to serve on the Planning Commission; Timothy Locker and Linda Obermeier were appointed to fill two public vacancies with terms expiring Jan. 3, 2028. The minutes note Mayor Meinert also appointed Dan Burchett to the election committee.
The minutes do not include the proposed DDA boundary or plan language; those details are expected to be presented at or before the Jan. 13 public hearing. The resolution sets the formal process in motion under state law and gives residents an opportunity to comment before any ordinance or boundary is adopted.
