Check List Executive Director Statz provided an overview of checks, noting that there was an error with check number 000013E to VZ Wireless-Web Pay in the amount of $255.00. The Bank was unable to explain why the charge occurred but confirmed that a credit would be issued in the amount of $255.00.

Communications Executive Director Statz introduced Assistant City Administrator Athanasia Lewis and shared that several of her goals for this year involve economic development. Mr. Statz also introduced Jr Council member Danny Peterson, a junior at Centennial High School; Danny attended the last City Council meeting. VI. REPORTS 1. AdministratorÓs Report Executive Director Statz reviewed the AdministratorÓs Report as presented, adding a couple of updates. Mr. Statz reported that Block 7 (also referred to as Sorel Quarter) is the first redevelopment project incorporating the look and feel envisioned in the 2006 Downtown Master Plan; the project also achieves density and affordability goals. Mr. Statz noted that the Atlas Villas Memory Care facility located at 1824 Main Street anticipates opening in April of this year (this information was available after the staff report was written). Executive Director Statz noted that on the 2050/2070 Main Street project Council approved a rezoning and CUP permit for the site to allow a building supply company to occupy the building and the site next door and anticipate site build out and tenant build out are anticipated in the Spring, barring any unforeseen circumstances. Progress on this project is contingent upon sale of the property. Executive Director Statz reported that the total allotment of the Biden-Era Ðby-outÑ package is approximately $450,000. The spending term is longer than the CARES funding package. The City has until the end of 2023 to spend the funding, noting that the money can be used for anything, excluding a Ðrainy dayÑ fund. The City will receive the money as lost revenue and use it to fund general government improvements, such as street/parking enhancements at City Hall. Executive Director Statz reported that the City is still offering ½ price water hook-up for businesses. President Hanzel inquired about the possibility of extending the program to residents. Executive Director Statz communicated that the City has offered similar programs to residents in the past, however federal aid attaches certain requirements to the funding. There are currently about one hundred residents without City water Î it might be a good time to evaluate options. Page 5 of 5
