During the Guthrie Center City meeting on Nov. 12, City Clerk Kris Arrasmith explained the need to replace the light beacon atop the city’s water tower.

“The light has been out for a while, and it is required by the FAA,” Arrasmith said.

Arrasmith said the FAA requirement is based on the water tower’s proximity to the hospital’s helipad and on the height of the water tower. Arrasmith said that once fixed, the beacon should be functional for 20 years. The council unanimously approved the replacement lighting.

The councilmembers approved Resolution 2024-18 “Resolution Setting a Date of Meeting at which it is Proposed to Approve a Development Agreement with Main Street Guthrie Center Corporation, Including Annual Appropriation Tax Increment Payments.” The public hearing will be during the next council meeting on Nov. 25.

As part of the consent agenda items, the council approved building permits for lot 30/31 at Cameron Flats (townhouse), 1508 Cameron Pass (communal building) and 900 Tiger Lane (dwelling).

The next regular meeting of the council will be Monday, Nov. 25 at 6:30 p.m.at City Hall. The public is welcome.
