City Commission Briefs on 23rd Street tax district proposal
The commission weighed a plan to create a Community Improvement Taxing district near 23rd and Ousdahl with a 1 percent sales tax at four businesses to fund about 1.5 million in private improvements. Mayor Amyx and Commissioner Cromwell voiced concerns as staff prepare a report and a public hearing is planned next month. The board also approved updated environmentally sensitive area rules, allowing greater density if developers protect more areas, and sought a $150,000 EPA grant for an energy audit of city plants, needing a $75,000 match.
