CITY COUNCIL
From Page 6
was not in favor of the pipeline
in Lockport in general
and thought it would eventually
leak.
Despite the disagreements,
a motion to pass the
resolution approving the
easement agreement and redevelopment
agreement between
the City and Ducere
passed unanimously. An action
item dedicating funds
from the project to the quiet
zone project is expected to
be brought back to the council’s
next regular meeting.
Central Square Building
changes
Also at the Committee
of the Whole meeting, the
council discussed a lease
agreement with the Lockport
Chamber of Commerce
to occupy space in the
Central Square building in
2017.
Preston Lewis, president
of the chamber, was at the
meeting and explained that
the chamber wanted to
move downtown to be closer
to the heart of the business
community.
Streit said he looks forward
to the chamber occupying
the same building.
The council is expected to
vote on the lease at its next
regular meeting.
Similarly, it is expected to
vote on an item that would
convey the title of the building
to the City, solely, from
the Lockport Township
Park District and Lockport
Township.
Budget, levy pass
The City Council unanimously
passed both the fiscal
year 2017 budget and
the 2016 property tax levy.
VanderMeer expressed
concerns about the amount
of money being devoted to
marketing in the budget, but
Streit contended the marketing
budget is essential to
the development of the city.
For the second year, the
overall tax rate for the city
decreased, Finance Director
Lisa Heglund said.
