Economic Development Strategy in Development

City Council authorized City Manager VanVleck to enter into an agreement with Better City LLC to develop an economic development strategy. This was a budgeted and planned expense, and part of the City’s adopted Strategic Plan.

License Agreement for Municipal Parking

Council approved a lease agreement for municipal parking on parcels 04-25-07-455-033 and 04-25-07-455-032, located at the Berkley Theater. The property owner, City staff, and our City attorney worked together to draft a license agreement allowing for public use of the lot in exchange for City-provided maintenance, including snow removal and suspension of property taxes and stormwater/sewer charges.
