Page 2 of 3 At its August work session, the City Council reviewed the 2025 preliminary general fund budget and levies. The overall 2025 levy began with an expected increase of 14%. Since the 2024 budget approval last December, there are four new staffing requests. In addition to the new positions, wage and benefit adjustments, general inflation, and additional capital savings needs, the proposed levy increase is 16.08%. Staff recommends the adoption of the resolutions approving the 2025 preliminary budget and levies. 5.3 The Council will consider approval of an 8-unit twin home development at 6203-6213 36th Ave. N. a) Consider 2nd reading and adoption of an ordinance rezoning 6203-6213 36th Ave. N. from R1 to R2-Planned Development. b) Consider a resolution summary language for publication of the ordinance. Creek Edge Townhomes LLC is proposing to consolidate the two properties they own at 6203 and 6213 – 36th Avenue N. into one lot and then rezone the property for the construction of four new twin homes. The property is currently zoned Low-Density Residential (R-1), and the applicant is proposing to rezone the property to Planned Development (R2-PD). At the August 20 meeting, the Council approved the first reading of the rezoning ordinance including site and building plans. The Council is now asked to approve the second reading and adoption of the rezoning ordinance and a resolution for a summary publication of the ordinance. Recommend approval. 5.4 The Council will consider a resolution approving a quote for concrete at the south fire station. The Long-Term Plan included the replacement of the South Fire Station’s concrete driveway apron in 2024. When staff was reviewing the proposed apron project, it was determined that additional concrete driveway work was needed due to the driveway and parking area’s condition. The additional funding will come from the Streets Miscellaneous Concrete budget. Odessa II submitted the lowest qualified bid. Recommend approval and awarding of the south fire station concrete project to Odessa II. 5.5 The Council will consider a resolution approving a labor quote to install Joint Water Commission (JWC) valves. The JWC is replacing a water main valve at 47th Ave. N. and Douglas Dr. in preparation for a future pipe replacement as part of its CIP. The City of Crystal will be administering this project. Crystal also has a city water main valve that needs replacement at 45th Ave. N. and Douglas Dr. The city is taking advantage of the work being done in the same area to have its valve replaced at the same time. The respective entities will pay the correlating expenses. Valley Rich Co. Inc has been selected as the qualified low bidder. Recommend approval. 6. Announcements a.
