Old Business
I. Comprehensive Plan
Chairman Piel reported that the planning commission will meet Tuesday, October 17th at 7:00 P.M. and plan to decide on which consultant they want to contract with. Code Admin./City Engineer Mueller said that once a consultant is chosen the negotiations will begin and he expects to have a contract to present at the next committee meeting.
II. Red Bud Business Park Expansion Project
IDOT now needs to review construction plans, making sure it can handle truck traffic. Mueller also commented that he has had a long conservation with Doug Sachtleben regarding the lot prices and what they are selling for in Randolph County. KRPD is getting ready to sell some property down at the river, therefore we can see what price this land brings. In Sachtleben’s opinion, the city should hire an appraiser.
