Development News from the latest meeting
Lehigh Roundup Rodeo Royalty Promotes Upcoming Lehigh Week Events
The City Council heard from the Lehigh Roundup Rodeo Royalty: Queen Tara Hicken, First Attendant Jensen Hamilton, and Second Attendant Lydia Knapp. They presented an overview of the upcoming Lehigh Week events, including a concert in the park, a Family Western BBQ, the rodeo slack and main events, a stock parade, a miniature parade, and a 'Tough Enough to Wear Pink' night. They encouraged council members and residents to attend these events, highlighting that rodeo slack tickets are free due to sold-out rodeo nights. The council expressed support and anticipation for the events.
City Council Approves Purchase of Two Substation Transformers with 2029 Delivery Date
The City Council considered a resolution to approve an agreement with Prolec-GE Waukesha for the purchase of two substation transformers. Joel, likely from the city's power department, explained that these transformers have a long lead time, with delivery expected in October 2029. The purchase is a proactive measure based on load growth studies and forecasts indicating the need for these transformers at the Carter substation or for the planned Cold Springs substation. The council discussed the item and ultimately approved the resolution.
City Council Tables NICE Healthcare Renewal Amidst Debate on Cost Savings and Medical Efficacy
The City Council voted on the renewal of the NICE healthcare agreement, a concierge service for employees. Councilmember Freeman expressed strong professional and personal reservations, citing it as 'bad medicine' and a potentially misleading product that doesn't cover all preventative care and is more expensive than alternative options. Other council members, however, noted potential cost savings for the city through reduced claims on traditional health insurance and benefits for employees, particularly regarding convenience and reduced time off work. After considerable debate and a failed motion to deny, the council ultimately voted to table the item to gather more information, including reaching out to the contractor for a 30-day extension and clarifying financial implications with the city's broker and finance department.
Residents Urge Action on Traffic Safety Concerns at Key Intersections
During the public comment period, residents voiced significant concerns about traffic safety at the intersection of 900 North and 300 West, near Bandwagon Park. A parent shared a recent incident where their 11-year-old son was involved in a bicycle accident at the intersection. Residents reported excessive speeding, blind spots, and difficulty for pedestrians. They requested changes such as a four-way stop, flashing indicators, or speed bumps to improve safety, especially given the high volume of child traffic. Another group of residents, living behind a commercial strip mall at 3200 North and 1200 West, reported overflow parking from businesses onto their narrow residential streets, creating safety hazards and impeding access. They requested strict enforcement of existing parking codes or the establishment of a permit-only parking zone. The council acknowledged these concerns and indicated they would follow up with the city traffic engineer.
City Council Approves Development Agreement for 13 Lots on 7.1 Acres, Citing Infrastructure Needs and Public Benefit
The City Council reviewed a development agreement for 7.1 acres at 2424 West 900 North, proposing 13 lots within a very low-density residential agriculture designation. The petitioner, Terry Bishop, presented the agreement, which was developed in collaboration with city staff following previous discussions. Councilmember Stallings expressed reservations about increasing density and losing larger lots suitable for large animal rights, though she acknowledged the project's potential benefits and the petitioner's willingness to compromise. Councilmember Lockhart supported the agreement, citing the need for infrastructure and public benefit. The motion to approve the resolution included a condition that the development agreement aligns with the goals and policies of the general plan.
