The Alliance City Council held their Council meeting on Tuesday evening and two measures were passed.
The Council passed the first reading of Ordinance No. 2972, to approve and rezone a 3.88 tract of land and in the southwest quarter of Section 26, Township 25 North, Range 48 West of the 6th Principal Meridian. From Ag, Agriculture, to C-3, Heavy Commercial Zoning.
Alliance City Manager Seth Sorensen says it is expected that new buildings will be built but is unsure of a timetable of that occurring.
The Council also moved on Resolution No. 24-02, will accept and award the 2024 Landscaping Services Bid to the All-Seasons Landscaping, LLC, in the total amount of $30,460.00.
Sorensen says that after the first year of the contract with All Season, there will be three annual renewals for the contract where the City and Council can choose to continue the contract or terminate it and reopen the project to bids.
Councilwoman Tearza Mashburn made a motion to remove the yearly annual renewals, but her motion did not receive a 2nd motion so the contract will be as originally written.
