During the Oct. 28 regular meeting of the Guthrie Center City Council, City Clerk Kris Arrasmith asked the council to consider approving the city’s downtown TIF area for another five years. The council unanimously approved this.
The council set a public hearing on the Urban Renewal Plan Amendment for the Guthrie Center Urban Renewal Area. The public hearing will happen in conjunction with the regular city council meeting on Monday, Nov. 25.
As part of the consent agenda, the council approved liquor licenses for Wine Time LLC and Incredi-Bowl.
Upcoming events mentioned included the Guthrie County Community Foundation fall reception on Tuesday, Nov. 12 at 6:30 p.m. at the Panora Community Center. There was also a mention of the Big Green Umbrella open house, 104 Industrial Road in Guthrie Center, on Wednesday, Nov. 13, 4-6:30 p.m.
Arrasmith pointed out that during the city’s Trick-or-Treat hours (6-8 p.m. on Oct. 31), National Honor Society students will also be going house-to-house collecting food items for the food pantry.
Arrasmith shared progress on construction at the Cameron Flats housing project.
“If you’ve driven down there, you’ve probably seen they’ve been moving dirt around,” Arrasmith said.
She added that a lot was recently sold, so the project is moving forward nicely.
Because of Veterans Day, the next regular meeting of the city council will be Tuesday, Nov. 12 at 5:45 p.m. The public is welcome.
