Geneseo Council to vote on $126,395 lift station equipment for Ford Road TIF project

The Geneseo City Council will consider a $126,395 purchase of pumps and controls for a new wastewater lift station on Ford Road when it meets in a special session June 23. The equipment, to be bought from Electric Pump, is part of the larger Ford Road TIF Redevelopment Project that pairs $1.26 million in municipal sewer work with up to $8 million in private commercial development. The council also plans to adopt an ordinance establishing a 23-year tax increment financing district to recoup infrastructure costs.

Committee of the Whole backs same purchase, advances cemetery rules

Earlier that evening, the Committee of the Whole discussed and was expected to recommend approval of the same $126,395 lift station purchase. The committee also took up a resolution to revise cemetery rules adding Sections 34 through 37 at Oakwood Cemetery.

Police sergeant sworn in

The Committee of the Whole agenda included the swearing in of Elliott Vermeire as a police sergeant. The committee also handled routine payment of city and utility bills.

Ford Road project timeline

The special City Council meeting is set to include a follow-up vote on a generator for the lift station and on Phase I construction bids. The Ford Road TIF Redevelopment Project pairs public sewer expansion with private commercial development, with the city financing infrastructure through a 23-year tax increment district.
