3.The treasurer report remains the same at $342.15.
4.No updates on financing at this time.
5.Rog Wheeler – is waiting on financing so he can get a purchase agreement signed between MEDCO & Savanah Homes for the new development. He reminded board members to start working on the covenants. Clerk forwarded covenants onto Melanie.
6.Scott Renaud – went over his agreement for engineering work & project management for work that has already been completed and yet to be completed. He also explained that V&K would be working for the city if resident review agreement is signed. Discussed whether we thought it would benefit all involved to apply for the Workforce Housing Tax Credits grant for the builder. Kenney was forwarding information on to some of the other members. It is totally up to the builder if they think they can meet the criteria. Discussed water & future loop. Discussed different options on road material for new development. As soon as V&K gets information to him he can complete the applications that need to be submitted to IDNR for water & sewer construction. 2nd phase of development should have a lower cost per lot, since we have to get utilities across the road to the new area.
7.Everyone has proposed contracts with Renaud Engineering & V&K to look over. The council will have to approve both agreements prior to MEDCO signing.
8.We ran out of time for Jeff Davidson to speak in regard to JEDCO, he will send a report to Kenney.

3.President Hoskins went over engineer estimate line by line. Questions were asked and answered if possible. Some questions were jotted down to ask of Scott Renaud at the special council meeting to be held February 25th, 2025. Questioning whether we are doing all of the earthwork in phase 1 or some in phase 2. Need to make sure that moisture & density testing is done. Should we do 8” water mains or 6”, is there a cost savings. Will recommend going from corp. to curb stop with a trace wire. Make sure curb & gutter is concrete.
4.Discussed engineering agreement with Renaud Engineering. Bartels wants it broken down into more detail and thinks it should be negotiated.
5.Discussed V & K proposal for resident reviews. Kenney wanted to make sure that it was an hourly contract and that we wouldn’t be billed for the entire amount if that many hours were not needed. Discussed whether we could cut back the hours. Kenney asked about previous agreement for prelim & final plat along with placing lot pins with V&K and asking whether we should have to pay Beck Engineering for the final plat and lot pins since we had already paid full previous agreement. Was explained that we had went over on hours with all of the changes to the preliminary plat. Bartels was going to ask V&K to verify.
