Subject:
3.A. Consider the Invitation to Bid for the "Walnut Creek Sewer Repair" project 
Discussion:
Simonson with JEO discussed how this project was initiated because near 22nd and Kingwood some aerial sewer was damaged, and a temporary fix was put into place. Simonson discussed the solution of putting a 16-inch steel casing across the creek with an 8-inch sewer inside the steel casing. This steel casing is to protect it from future events. This project is to be awarded to a contractor before the end of the year and use remaining ARPA funds.

3.C. Consider the amended Stehlik Administrative subdivision, now titled Stehlik Family Acres. 
Discussion:
Anna Burge, City Attorney, discussed how the County had rejected the first submission. Survayers should have checked with the County before submitting it to the City, so the name was incorrect. Another change that was made was that the triangle was also included in lot 1. Anna stated that she had sent it back to the County, and they did say that it would be sufficient. 
Action(s):
Motion Carried:
Recommendation was made to the City Council to approve the amended Stehlik Administrative subdivision, now titled Stehlik Family Acres. Carried with a motion by Dan Papik and a second by Anthony Fitzgerald.

Subject:
3.D. Consider Ordinance 2220 Sale of City Farm Property
Discussion:
Anna Burge, City Attorney, explained that by state law we would have to do it under Ordinance if selling City property. 
Action(s):
Motion Carried:
Recommendation was made to the City Council to approve 2220 Sale of City Farm property. Carried with a motion by Anthony Fitzgerald and a second by Dan Papik.
  • Anthony Fitzgerald: Aye
  • Dan Papik: Aye
  • Dale Strehle: Aye
Attachments:
Subject:
3.E. Consider granting relaxation from sidewalk placement on Iris at Eastgate 
Discussion:
Tom Ourada, City Administrator, explained that to match the sidewalk line it is different from City standards and the City standard is 18-inches off the property line. There is a way to do it, but it would be with a wide sidewalk and unnecessary additional costs. This requires the Council in each and every case to grant an exception for the sidewalk. This Eastgate sidewalk will match the rest of the sidewalk that is set in place, so it is not off set. 
Action(s):
Motion Carried:
Recommendation was made to the City Council to approve granting relaxation from sidewalk placement on Iris at Eastgate. Carried with a motion by Dan Papik and a second by Anthony Fitzgerald.
  • Anthony Fitzgerald: Aye
  • Dan Papik: Aye
  • Dale Strehle: Aye
Subject:
3.F. Consider Ordinance 2222 amending sewer department billing and collecting
Discussion:
Tom Ourada, City Administrator, explained that instead of saying the lowest three of the five winter months, we will just say December, January, February when figuring out sewer billing. 
Action(s):
Motion Carried:
Recommendation was made to the City Council to approve Ordinance 2222 amending sewer department billing and collecting. Carried with a motion by Anthony Fitzgerald and a second by Dan Papik.
  • Anthony Fitzgerald: Aye
  • Dan Papik: Aye
  • Dale Strehle: Aye
Attachments:
Subject:
3.G. Discuss Creation of Street Improvement District Alley of Block 143.
Discussion:
Tom Ourada, City Administrator, discussed how this alley is in bad shape. The City would create a placement district and offer LB840 for businesses that would pay for half of their paving assessments and that would be reasonable. This would help be able to distinguish where the alley ends and begins. Offering LB840 will help it not get protested. Tom did state that this would be worth doing.

Subject:
3.H. Consider the Application for a permit to occupy City of Crete Right-of-Way from Black Hills Energy
 
Discussion:

Subject:
3.I. Consider Resolution 2024-23 Year-End Certification of City Street Superintendent 2024
Discussion:

Action(s):
Motion Carried:
