Hazen council approves routine minutes, a renaissance‑zone application, lift‑station pump and tire purchase; bills approved
Summary
At its October meeting the Hazen City Council approved minutes and several motions: a renaissance‑zone application, a commercial permit, replacement of a lift‑station pump (cost unclear in transcript), a Bridgestone tire purchase for municipal vehicles, and final approval of bills; staff reported on fleet and street work and holiday park preparations.
The Hazen City Council handled a slate of routine motions and operational items at its meeting.
The council approved the minutes of the previous meeting and carried several motions on consent. A renaissance‑zone application was approved after staff said it was similar to prior approvals and a five‑year graduated incentive was recommended; the motion was made by a council member (Folkerts) and the roll call showed one recorded 'no' vote. The council also approved a commercial building permit for applicants listed as Paige and Joe Shafer.
Public‑works staff requested and received approval to replace a lift‑station pump at lift station 1; the transcript contains a garbled dollar figure for the pump replacement and a precise amount is not specified in the meeting record. Police and public‑works staff reported equipment and activity: the council approved a tire purchase (Bridgestone, mounting and balancing noted in the bid); officers gave department activity numbers and discussed upcoming training. Staff also reported a scheduled repair appointment for the garbage truck.
Council members heard from HCD on a donated tree for the pocket park and discussed the lack of power at that site for a tree lighting; city crews volunteered to help transport a donated tree. The council moved to approve bills, including a late reimbursement request that was added during the meeting; the motion to approve bills carried.
Most motions were recorded as carried in the transcript; when cost figures or specific vote tallies were unclear in the audio transcript, the council recorded the final outcome as 'motion carried' and directed staff to follow up with details.
