Development News from the latest meeting
Common Council Meeting
Published: Jul 21, 2026
Discussion on Impact Fees Postponed; Feasibility Study Proposed for 2027 Budget
The council discussed the idea of updating existing impact fees or creating new ones. It was suggested to table the discussion until the next year and direct staff to include funds in the 2027 budget for a feasibility study. This study is necessary to legally justify current and potential future fees, as existing water, sewer, and park impact fees are expiring.
BeaverFest Celebrated; Key Sponsors and Leadership Class Recognized
The city also celebrated the 'new and improved BeaverFest,' thanking the Beaver Dam leadership class project, spearheaded by Patty Sanchez Walker, and major sponsors including Meta Brewer Metalcraft, Mortonson Construction, Water Technologies, Inc., Apache Stainless, and GenerRack, who contributed significantly to the event, particularly for the fireworks.
Plan to Address Carp Infestation in Beaver Dam Lake Outlined
The city administrator reported on efforts to address the carp population in Beaver Dam Lake. A commercial fishing company hired by the DNR is expected to start in August, though warmer temperatures might affect fish location. The DNR is committed to fishing Trussell Bay and potentially Rakes Bay. The city is seeking farmers interested in using carp for land spreading as fertilizer. The goal is to remove over a million pounds of carp to improve weed and water grass growth, which impacts other fish.
