Stelmaszek updates committee on city projects and Neighborhood Enterprise Zone; DPW seeks quotes for road repairs
Summary
Secretary Michael Stelmaszek summarized ongoing city projects in several neighborhoods and recapped a Neighborhood Enterprise Zone the council passed to encourage residential redevelopment; DPW said it is obtaining quotes for road repairs and noted several watermain breaks involved near-100-year-old pipes.
Secretary Michael Stelmaszek briefed committee members on multiple city projects and land-sales activity in the Heights, Ford Addition and Garden Village neighborhoods. He described a Neighborhood Enterprise Zone (NEZ) approved at a previous council meeting that allows tax breaks on the added tax amount after approved residential improvements in the zone for a set period.
Committee member Andy Wiltzius asked about planned road repairs on Westwood and East Boulevard; DPW Superintendent Jeff DeMuri said more streets are included and the department is obtaining quotes. DeMuri noted recent watermain breaks affected older mains—"they were all over or near 100 years old,"—indicating infrastructure age is a factor in repair needs. No council-level actions were taken in this meeting on NEZ or the road repairs; staff will continue to develop quotes and project details for future consideration.
