The amount spent to-date is $65,518, inclusive of the above billing. This latest amount is within the $20,000 budgeted for FY 10.)
D. Consideration of a Motion to Approve the Annual Sentence Work Abatement Program (SWAP) Service Agreement with the County of Ottawa. (This annual agreement provides for a mutual understanding on when the SWAP crews are available. Twenty-nine days will be included again this year at the same price as last year ($6.10 per hour).
E. Consideration of a Motion to Approve a Resolution of Declaration that the Brownfield Loan for Redevelopment of the former Graflex property (the new Lake Pointe Brownfield project) is Completed and Can Be Abolished. (This Brownfield loan was paid back last year. The impact of this resolution will be to direct the Spring Lake Township Assessing and Tax Collection functions to no longer capture non-Village taxes to make this Brownfield loan pay back. The loan terms were for up to 15 years. The Village paid it back with new tax payments from this project in less than two years. The actual resolution is still being developed as of press time and will be distributed at the meeting.)
Recommendation: After reading the Consent Agenda, the Village President will request a motion to approve. A Council Member may now make a motion to approve the Consent Agenda. (Roll call vote.)
(Any member can ask that an item be removed from the Consent Agenda, if desired. Such item would then be discussed and voted on separately later in the meeting.)
VII. Report By the Village Clerk-Treasurer
VIII. Report By the Village Manager
A. Consideration of a Proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendment to Section 20 Special Land Uses and Special Land Use Specific Requirements to Permit Community Support Facilities in the P-Public, Semi-Public Zoning District.
Subject: The Planning Commission considered this matter at the request of the People Center and Christ Community Church. They recommend approval. The Community Services Director proposed language to prevent a church or non-profit from removing any more property from the tax rolls in order to create a Community Support Facility. The language now limits this ordinance’s application to properties that were off the tax rolls as of December 31, 2009 already. A list of eligible properties is attached. A copy of the ordinance with the revised language is attached.
Recommendation: A Council Member may make a motion to adopt an amendment to Section 20, Special Land Uses, and Special Land Use Specific Requirements, to permit community support facilities in the P-Public, Semi-Public zoning district and to provide for other neighborhood protection measures as noted in said ordinance.(Roll Call)
