The Powell Development Committee held its final meeting of 2025 on Tuesday, December 2, 2025, at 6:30 PM in Council Chambers. The meeting focused on a comprehensive review of the committee's work over the past year, including major projects, policies, and studies that have shaped development in Powell. The committee also approved minutes from the previous meeting and set the date for its next meeting in February 2026.
Evening, welcome. The power development committee meeting. Would you please uh call the role? Matt. Here. Ross Ervine. David Lester. Sean Simpson. Yes. Rising the budget for the allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands. One nation under individual with liberty and justice for all. Thank you. Next chapter one of the agenda is the approval of the minutes. And we have the uh minutes from the from the last committee meeting, which was on November 5th. May I have a motion to adopt the minutes? So move. Second. Motion and second. Any discussion, questions, comments, corrections. All in favor say aye. The ayes have it, and the minutes are adopted. Now we turn to today's business. Let's review everything that this committee and well, what this committee has seen, which has done by the staff in 2025. We're looking forward to a year in review. Sure. We didn't qualify. We didn't do anything. We just absolutely chair chair observes and uh and then currently. We know who does the heavy lifting and are always impressed by the work that is done by the staff. Yes. So you may or may not have received this matrix and the ensuing information afterwards. What I will say, starting off is we may not have done as many projects as we've done or reviewed as many projects as we've reviewed in times past. But I think we've reviewed projects of importance and those that have had impact. And you're going to see where we outline the topics and the dates that we've discussed those, but I think it's that fourth column where we talk about key associated projects that really tells the story because there were things that you discussed that had impact not only on the project that you discussed, but the projects that are associated with some of those were either in progress, some of them will be talked about tonight. And so I think it goes beyond Dave is very good at saying I'm tired of plans, I want to get to some action. I think you're going to see that these discussions have led to I think you mean just studies. It's you explain just the students of issue. I don't want to hear the S word. So this is the overview, and then if you go, we're we're just going to talk about month by month what we did. In February, we talked about the shared use master plan. Um as you know, that eventually was adopted by council. And now you're starting to see, excuse me for uh choking up here. You're starting to see some of the associated projects that are being implemented. So the South Liberty CSX Pet Crossing, we'll talk about that tonight at City Council. Uh the Bennett Farm Shared Use Path. We've talked about that one. Uh the lecturer building renovation and the shared use path length. Talk about tonight at City Council, and the South Liberty annexation impacts, um, and that'll be something further discussed with City Council. Um, that project is really interesting because it has a lot of uh points to it. Um, and the shared use master plan was in the very center of hopefully getting that project moved along.
