The study needs to be updated every five years.
The Council also approved the transfer of ownership of a property at 1205 Harlan Street to the Southeast Nebraska Land Bank. The City has invested more than $19 thousand in the property in demolition, cleanup and attorney fees. The Land Bank will pay $632 in property taxes on the property.
An amended request from the Falls City Volunteer Fire Department to use the city parking lot east of Prichard Auditorium for pressure testing fire hoses and having the city street sweeper clean the lot prior to the test was approved.
Fire Department Public Information Officer Jon McQueen explained around 8,000 feet of hose will be tested and an area approximately 300 feet by 100 feet is needed for the testing.
The area needs to be as clean as possible of sand and dirt which can cause damage to the fire hose when it is rolled back up on the trucks.
Also approved was a resolution to repeal the current Management Pension Plan benefit to bring it in line with other city employees.
A resolution amending a contract for the Gas Supply agreement for the PEFA program with Clayton Energy as recommended by the Board of Public Works was also approved.
