Please rise.

We'll begin with a moment of silence.

Please join us with a pledge of allegiance.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands.

One nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice role.

In accordance with section 84-1412 of the Nebraska revised statutes, a current copy of the Open Meetings Act is available for review and is posted on the wall of council chambers.

Peggy, please call roll.

Mayor Nicola Absent Bushcutter.

Here more.

Here Schmidt.

Stratman absent.

All right.

There are no oral communications and there is no unfinished business.

There's also no public hearings, so we're catching up.

On the consent agenda, there are six items.

Any item on the consent agenda may at the request of any single council member be considered as a separate item for the regular agenda section of the agenda.

And are there any items for that need to be uh removed from the consent agenda?

Uh seeing none, I would entertain a motion.

I move to approve items one through six of the consent agenda.

Second.

Motion and second.

Peggy, please call roll.

Mayor Nicola Absent Moore.

Aye, Schmidt.

Hi.

Stratman Absent Bushcutter.

Aye.

And there are no consent agenda ordinances, and that brings us to our regular agenda, item number one, which pertains to the redevelopment project submitted by BH Investments Incorporated for redevelopment area number 10 for an area described as lot one, old father first edition.

Brian.

Thank you, Randy.

Good evening, everybody.

The item before you is for a TIFF project.

It's already gotten approved at the CRA meeting the other day on April 6th.

They're looking for approved costs in the rough area of $822,000.

Currently it is just a piece of land.

So they are looking to build what is up on the screen in front of you.

There's a rendering so you guys get a general idea of what it will look like.

It's going to be a combination of office and warehouse space.

Yeah, I remember going through the rezoning process not long ago.

Nice to see the renderings now.

Are there any questions for Brian or Chad?

Okay.

Thank you, Brian.

With there being no questions, I narrow motion.

I move to approve that finding or the finding that the redevelopment projects set forth in the application submitted by BH Investments Inc.

would not be economically feasible without the use of tax increment financing, and that the proposed redevelopment project would not occur in the community redevelopment area without the use of tax increment financing, and that the cost and benefits of the proposed redevelopment project are found to be in the long-term best interest of the community.

And further move that the redevelopment project be granted 100% of the annual increment in real estate taxes up to the certified eligible project cost over a period not to exceed 15 years, beginning with tax year 2026, and to adopt resolution number 2026-37, granting that the chairman and legal counsel the authority to negotiate and execute a redevelopment contract with B and H investments Inc.

Second.

Easy for you to say.

Thank you.

Regular agenda item number two pertains to the approval of the plans and specifications in connection with the downtown Carney festoon lighting project and set the bid opening date for May the 5th at 2 p.m.

Andy, I did have to look up the word festoon.

I was like, he's gonna point at me.

I know that's great.

I don't use that.

It's not a word.

I will still like it.

I feel smart using it, and I feel I can use it in a sentence now.

So it's all good.

Well, now you got to tell the rest of us what festive is.
