Housing Committee, budget adjustments on Council’s July 23 agenda
posted on 7/21/2025
The City Council will receive a report from its ad-hoc Committee to Address Community Housing Needs during the Mayor’s Report at the July 23 City Council meeting.
The City Council formed the committee in 2023, charging it to review relevant data to “recommend long-term strategies for the City Council and City Manager to encourage and incentivize thoughtful development for residents of all incomes, ages, and abilities.” Its final report is due to the City Council by Dec. 31, 2025.
At the beginning of the meeting, the City Council will hold a public hearing on a pending resolution that would add stop signs on Fairfield Drive, Milk Street, Old Rollinsford Road, Page Avenue and Richardson Drive. The passage of the resolution has been endorsed by the Transportation Advisory Committee.
The City Council will be asked to authorize additional funding for the Fifth and Grove Reconstruction Project to cover unexpected expenses, including both construction costs and construction oversight.
The Council will hold a first reading on several budget adjustments, all of which will require a public hearing on Aug. 13, 2025, a vote on Aug. 27, 2025, and a two-thirds vote of the Council to be authorized.
One is a resolution to rescind the Dec. 13, 2023 debt authorization of $2.5 million for the high school athletic complex project, as the Council had authorized the full amount of $18,037,000 at its June 25, 2025 meeting.
A second resolution would rescind the Dec. 11, 2024 debt authorization of $850,000 for Fire and Rescue’s South End Station addition project. Earlier this year, the City Council authorized Fire and Rescue to lease space on Crosby Road, negating the immediate space needs for the station.
A third resolution would authorize reprogramming $278,434 of unused debt authorization to help fund the retrofit part of the Liberty North Fire Station vacated by Inspection Services into a training facility.
