- The council adopted the Grimes Market Demand and Retail Study as an appendix to the Grimes 2050 Comprehensive Plan. That makes the study a planning input for future land use and economic development decisions. The work is complete in this agenda, but it signals follow-on planning activity tied to the comprehensive plan. A seller can track what capital, retail, or site-development priorities come out next.
- The consent agenda included payment of Invoice #5 to Veenstra & Kimm, Inc. for the WRA Trunk Sewer Extension Feasibility Study, valued at $12,034.68. This is an already-started planning study, so the buying decision is not open. It still matters because it shows sewer extension planning is active and may lead to design or construction follow-on work.
