Green Wheel Tire Recycling in M-D district
The mountain of tires at 1607 N Old Lincoln Highway has been an eyesore and environmental hazard neighbors pass daily. The owners are only about 20% through their cleanup plan with a February deadline, and commissioners want hard numbers — tonnage in versus out — or the permit could be pulled.
Solar and battery project at the wastewater treatment plant
A $1.25 million grant will fund engineering and likely construction of solar and battery power to offset the new wastewater plant's operating costs, with an estimated five-year return on investment.
Waterwise Landscaping Requirements (Ordinance 2026-28)
New Chapter 9 amendments would limit grass in new subdivisions — no lawn in park strips, no more than 50% of front yards — so the city can join the state's water-wise rebate program. Several commissioners balked, calling it a 'citywide HOA' and questioning enforcement costs.
