Hills council calls election to borrow up to $5.1 million for fire station, city offices
Summary
The Hills City Council voted July 27 to call an election for a general obligation loan not to exceed $5,100,000 to fund a new fire station and city office project; public comment urged the council to consider added amenities to increase voter support.
The Hills City Council voted July 27 to adopt Resolution 2026-25, calling an election on a proposed General Obligation Loan Agreement to borrow up to $5,100,000 for a new fire station and city office project.
Public commenter J. Cambridge urged the council to "see if there is an option to add on a walking pad, public restrooms, etc." and said "maybe residents would be more open to approving a high dollar bond." Council Member Henderson moved for the resolution and Council Member Knebel seconded; a roll-call vote recorded aye votes from Hudachek, Knebel, Rummelhart and Henderson and no nays.
The resolution explicitly authorizes the city to present the loan proposal to voters; the transcript does not specify a ballot date or detailed project budget line items. Council members discussed the proposal during the business portion of the meeting and proceeded to put the question before voters rather than delay further study.
Next steps noted during the meeting: the city will follow statutory procedures to place the measure on the ballot. No implementation timeline, interest-rate estimate or specific construction schedule was provided in the meeting record.
