The council approved routine consent items by roll call, including special-event beverage licensing for the Exchange Club and a liquor‑license transfer for a downtown venue. Planning staff reported unanimous planning commission support for a plat of Lots 1–8 in Legacy Court; council approved the plat resolution and also approved annexation of a small parcel at Veterans Memorial Park tied to restroom installation.
The Burr Water Tower demolition project (2026 budgeted item) was awarded to Hozier Worldwide for a low quote of $97,600; staff said asbestos and lead testing coordination is complete and city crews will remove concrete footings later and address future water‑main work. The council also approved municipal adviser / fiscal‑feasibility agreements to meet new state requirements for independent TIF reviews, authorizing agreements with Colliers and Dakota Institute (the latter with a revised $12,400 fee and shortened timeline).
All motions on these consent and development items carried; staff will proceed with contract execution and grant and annexation paperwork as appropriate.
