Annotated Agenda

On Monday night, we'll be voting on whether or not to create a new TIF District in South Cedar Falls (E-1 below), considering budget appropriations (G.2.a), the city's fee schedules (G.2.c), and pay for city staff (G.2.b), some changes to the River Place development agreement (G.2.s) and a few other items.  Let me know if I should be concerned about areas where I list "no concern", and be sure to let me know why.   Join us Monday night at 7pm at City Hall or on CFU Channel 15!

A. Call to Order by the Mayor.

B. Roll Call.

Major items up for consideration include the approval of a new six-story Hampton Inn at the corner of 1st and Main (Item E-3 below), and the giving of city property in the Southern Cedar Falls Industrial Park to ACOE, along with TIF incentives (Item E-1 below).   We'll also have hearings on amendments to the Community Development Block Grant program (E-12 below), an update to our electrical code (E-14 below), and selling a piece of Dallas Drive to John Deery Motors.

The commentary here meant to explain what each part of the agenda is about, as far as I understand it.  I generally will refrain from giving any opinions on the resolutions, to ensure that I keep an open mind.   I do post questions that I have, based on my reading of the packet.  

I hope that my notes will help you to better understand what's happening at the council meeting, and why.   If I missed some aspect, or you think I should be asking certain questions, let me know!
