Newsy Items on Monday City Council Agenda
City Council meets at 5:00 PM for Executive Session. Administration & Public Works Committee (A&PW) begins at regular 5:45 PM time. No Planning and Development Committee. City Council will begin at 7:15 PM or immediately following A&PW. Newsy Items:
1. Purchase of two license plate recognition systems per previous Council discussion.
2. Purchase of new field arrest and field interview software for the Police Department. This purchase comes from discussions I have had with Police staff about what smaller items could be purchased/implemented to make them more efficient. This module has been on their wish list for sometime, but no available resources. I asked Marty to find $54K to make this happen.
3. Annual lease renewals for Noyes Cultural Arts Center. There is no increase in rents as we work to develop solutions moving forward. I have been meeting with tenants regularly and I asked them if they would accept small increase this year or no increase this year with understanding of larger increase in 2013. They asked for the larger increase in 2013 once plans are better fleshed out for center. Item will be back to Council in February for update.
4. Resolution identifying projects that will be reimbursed through FY 2012 capital improvement debt proceeds. This includes new projects anticipated in Howard-Ridge TIF.
5. Resolution authorizing reimbursement of surplus $1.3 million from Howard-Hartrey TIF to other taxing jurisdictions and authorize complete analysis of potential closure of Howard-Hartrey TIF in FY 2012.
6. Ordinance establishing a 20 MPH speed limit on Oakton from Dodge to Ridge.
7. Various ordinance implementing fee increases approved in FY 2012 budget.
8. Consideration of actions related to sale of 1817 Church.
