Well, I'm not going to Yeah, I know, but I'm not going to tell the planning and zoning how to handle it either. But I don't have a problem because I guarantee you the first one that brings one of those monsters and I get to vote, it's going down. I don't care if it's in a great location. We don't need these great big billboards out there. It's ridiculous. So that's where I'm at. That's what kind of started all this stuff, is people got stupid on what they were doing.
Well, that's our decision. I know you don't like it, but that's our choice.
Well, then you know what? If it doesn't work, guess what? We'll change. I mean, you're the guy in the sign business, and you're trying to tell us how to write the ordinance. I've got to tell you, I take a little offense to that, too.
That's why I'm trying to help. So it isn't like we haven't changed things in the past, but we're going to go on. 21 is a resolution accepting and approving the final plat of Green Acres addition. The petitioner is Al Fagan on behalf of the Reverend Walter and Jane Green. PNZ recommends approval. I'll move it. Second, it's just in our two year two mile jurisdiction.
Yeah, I don't want to tell PNZ what to do, but I would like to tell you to get those those lights fixed downtown with the weed still growing in passes 50. Hearings and resolution approving the plans and specs for the fire station one bathroom. I'll move that second. Anybody to be heard? The public hearing is open. Seeing none, the hearing is closed. Passes 5-0. 23 is a hearing and resolution accepting the proposal of Siouxland developers for the purchase of land in the Donner Park Urban Renewal Area and approving a development agreement and minimum assessment agreement. A vacated portion of…
Public hearing is now open. Anyone to be heard?
As presented here, it's the local group. Right. If you want to change that, you'll have to amend the motion. Let's go.
It's not quite that simple. Now I'm going to practice law. You have to still make your decision based upon what you believe is in the best interest of the taxpayers.
Either developer has the right to sue on this to try to get a judgment based upon their proposal being better. That's all I'm trying to say.
I'm just saying that it could get stalled because of all I'm saying because we've never had been... Well, again, and there's more... And, Mr. Mayor, you know there's more going on on the backside of this, too.
It doesn't even matter because we don't do business that way.
Passes by or 4 to 0, 4 to 1. I vote no, not because of the developer, because I don't like where it's at. 24 is an ordinance amending chapter 12.30 entitled stormwater program in the municipal code to modify the stormwater collection fees. I'll move first reading. Second. Teresa, come on up and tell people what's going on so we can keep moving here.
But you do have the right, you have a big piece of ground.
You do have the right to appeal that to the city manager.
I would encourage you to get with Mike, call the city manager's office.
Thank you. Be sure and get a hold of me.
That first reading passes 5-0. Go ahead.
Well, we've got to do three more readings, so go ahead.
Two-thirds? If you were 50 before you went to 200, if you're 50 before, you're going to go to 100. So it's going to be half of what it was.
We won't go up for it. It'll go up 20% over five years. It's a progression. It's an annual. There's still an annual increase.
Thank you. Anybody oppose waiving statutory rule?
And we got to go back to the 223 and I'll move to amend the developer as Sioux City Hotel LLC So procedurally, unfortunately, you probably have to do a reconsideration and then the council can move I'll move to reconsider 23 Oh, I can't do that we reconsider you second I
Aye. I'll move we change the name to Sioux City Hotel LLC for 23. Second. Oh, Ray's got something. Come on, guys. Let's get this right.
Aye. Okay, now snow removal. You ladies need signature? You've waited long enough.
I just want to make sure Bertrand's on a priority one street. It is.
