Development News from the latest meeting
City Council July 7, 2026
Published: Jul 7, 2026
Senior Services Funding Contract Reviewed Amidst Concerns Over Neighboring City Contributions
The council discussed Resolution 2644, an annual contract renewal with Brad to fund senior center, congregate, and home-delivered meals programs. Concerns were raised by Council Member Westergard about neighboring cities not contributing financially while utilizing these services, placing the burden on Tremont citizens. While acknowledging the issue and the need for neighboring cities to contribute, staff noted that conversations have occurred, and some cities do pay. The council agreed to follow up on discussions with non-contributing cities, potentially dividing the task among council members.
City Secures Final $110,000 Grant Funding for Water Infrastructure Project
City Manager Justin reported that the city received final approval for its grant from a few years ago, securing the remaining 10% of funding, amounting to $110,000. This grant, initially for $1.1 million, was allocated for equalization basins and an Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) project. The final approval allows for the completion of this funding.
Jordan Rollson Honored for 10 Years of Service to Youth and Community
The council recognized Jordan Rollson for her 10 years of service to the city, primarily in Parks and Recreation roles including basketball scorekeeper and assisting with youth programs. Rollson, a lifelong resident, expressed her passion for the community, family, and sports, and her intention to return to teaching. Her contributions were highlighted as valuable to the community's youth and overall engagement.
Resolution on Bailiff Services Tabled for Further Review
Council Member Christie requested that Resolution 2646 be moved from the consent agenda to strategic business for further discussion, citing it was the first time she had heard about it and needed time to research costs and implications, particularly regarding the shift to a constable service for bailiff duties. Concerns were raised about potential cost increases compared to current services and the impact on court operations. Council Member Brenton echoed the need for more information and moved to table the resolution for two weeks. While staff confirmed that police presence would be guaranteed for court dates in the interim, and the judge's frustration with current bailiff issues was noted, the council agreed to table the resolution to allow for thorough due diligence and cost analysis.
Wastewater Treatment Plant Needs Expansion Amidst Growth Concerns
The council discussed the status and future plans for the city's wastewater treatment plant. Currently operating at near capacity (1.9 million gallons per day), the plant requires expansion to accommodate projected growth. Long-term planning involves assessing the need for a new site or expanding the current one, with a projected timeline of 5-7 years for permitting and construction of new facilities. Short-term actions include upgrading existing infrastructure, such as solids handling equipment, which is considered mission-critical due to its age (50-60 years old). Updates from Jones and Associates on the collection system will inform population and growth projections. Phase 1 of plant expansion is planned, awaiting state permit approval. The master plan update from 2021-2022 projected a need for 3 million gallons per day capacity to last into the 2040s, but recent growth trends may accelerate this timeline. Funding for Phase 2 (solids handling) and potentially Phase 3 needs to be secured. Discussions also touched on the possibility of a regional sewer plant with the county, though the city's primary focus remains on its own service area.
