6/22/26 Town Council Meeting
Published: Jun 22, 2026
Town Council Approves Updated Legal Services Agreement with Frost Brown Todd FBT Gibson
The town council approved an updated engagement agreement with Frost Brown Todd FBT Gibson, formerly Ros Frost Brown Todd. This firm has been representing the town for some time. The fees are based on time spent by their attorneys, paralegals, and other professionals, with hourly rates ranging from $575 for partners to $295 for associates. This change is due to a firm name change and does not alter the scope or terms of representation [cite: 338-365].
Beacon Street Consulting Selected for UDO Update, Approved by Town Council
The town council approved the selection of Beacon Street Consulting as the consultant for updating the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) for specific zones, including downtown, neighborhood town center, and gateway overlay districts. This update aims to refine definitions for mixed-use zones, potentially restricting multi-family housing to specific areas. The decision followed a review of four bids, with Beacon Street Consulting, a local firm with 25 years of experience, being the most cost-effective at $22,000. The process is expected to take until November 23rd, including public input sessions, and will also incorporate information from a housing study mandated by State House Bill 101. The town council's favorable recommendation was based on the planning and zoning board's review [cite: 496-562, 691-700].
Town Council Approves Electrical Service Agreement with Beckner Electric Company
The town council approved a new electrical service agreement with Beckner Electric Company. This agreement renews the services provided by Beckner Electric for the town's wastewater pumps and electrical systems. The scope of work includes troubleshooting, repair, maintenance, installation, upgrades, and emergency response for general electrical services on an as-needed basis. The hourly rates are set at $111 for a service technician and $72 for an apprentice. The agreement ensures all work complies with local, state, and national codes and regulations. This is a renewal of a previous agreement, with Beckner Electric having been familiar with the town's systems for several years, previously working with Delta Services [cite: 230-249].
Town Council Formally Accepts Plum Ridge Sanitary Sewer Lift Station
The town council formally accepted the Plum Ridge Sanitary Sewer Lift Station into the town's municipal sanitary sewer system. The lift station was constructed by Plum Ridge apartments according to town specifications, including specified pumps. All required inspections have been completed, and the station has been deemed acceptable for operation and maintenance by the town. The acceptance is effective as of the council's approval date, transferring ownership, operation, and maintenance responsibilities to the town at no initial cost to the town, although ongoing maintenance costs will be incurred [cite: 384-458].
Town Council Approves $12,500 Housing Market Analysis Study
The town council approved a contract with Valbridge Property Advisors for a market analysis housing study. The study, costing $12,500 with no retainer fee, is intended to gather data points to support the UDO update process and fulfill state mandates under House Bill 101, which requires a review of regulations to increase housing development by January 1, 2027. The study will analyze general housing and market conditions, single-family and multi-family housing, and potential sites within specific mixed-use zones. The report is expected to be completed within 30 days, by August 4th. This data will assist the plan commission in making informed recommendations to the council [cite: 710-772, 807-818].
