Votes at a glance: Hobart board approves routine contracts, cancels sidewalk event and clears downtown film shoot
Summary
The board approved contract renewals and vendor allocations, cancelled the annual sidewalk event, approved a $43,000 design agreement to prepare CCMG bid documents, and authorized a downtown film shoot for March 22–25; unsafe building action was set over to April 1.
The Hobart City Redevelopment Authority on Tuesday approved several routine items and a downtown film shoot while deferring certain enforcement actions.
Among the board’s procedural outcomes:
- The board approved the consent items and accepted previous minutes by voice vote.
- A contract renewal discussed by staff was approved to remain in effect through the year; staff indicated ongoing communication with the contractor and recommended approval.
- The board approved downtown vendor allocations through Oct. 31 for businesses listed by staff, including Burkhos Bari Grill (230 Main St.), Cafe 339 (339 Main St.), Montego Bay Grill (322 Main St.), Rangers at the Clock Tower (437 E. 3rd St.), Sip Coffee House (310 Main St.) and Farmhouse Coffee (223 Center St.).
- The annual sidewalk event was cancelled by motion.
- The Board approved a $43,000 agreement with 1st Group to prepare design and bid documents for a CCMG streets package, with staff saying the work will allow the city to submit bid-ready documents should grant funding be awarded.
- The board authorized a downtown film shoot to take place March 22–25 and advised the applicant to coordinate with police and to keep activities on sidewalks and public right-of-way.
- An unsafe-building order relating to 312 North Canton St. (demolition order originally for a garage) was set over to April 1 after staff said the owner has pulled permits and the project is under a stop-work order while a licensed plumber is scheduled.
Votes and outcomes were recorded by voice; the meeting transcript includes multiple "aye" responses without roll-call at each motion. No formal ordinance adoptions or contract amounts beyond the $43,000 design agreement were recorded in the public portions of the transcript.
