Motion carried 6-0. <br /> <br /> 7.3 General Updates <br /> Mr. O'Neil provided the following updates: <br />▪ Regarding the budget, Mr. O'Neil caught something he had misrepresented to the board at the <br />July meeting. The final recommendation from the board was to leave out the $50,000 for future <br />land purchases; however, on the final spreadsheet, land was still included in there for $50,000. <br />He recommended moving forward with the number that was approved in July for the <br />preliminary levy tonight, then proceed to talk about the land item at the meeting in October. <br />▪ The Tyler Street project is still progressing and looking good. Every conversation Mr. O'Neil has <br />had has been positive. He thinks that in October or November, there will be a substantial <br />update or an action item, and a discussion regarding TIF. President Westgaard stated it is nice to <br />hear they are still engaged in the project. <br /> <br />Mr. Mollan provided the following updates: <br />▪ The Beautification award nomination period is almost up. As of right now, they have 6 <br />nominations.
