Agenda item 6 was discuss acting as a fiscal sponsor for grant applications with Kayla West and Jamie Arbaugh for a future daycare. Kayla and Jamie updated the council on their plans to lease a building, renovate, get it licensed for 45 children and hire between 6-8 employees depending on how many children are enrolled and their ages. They are working with the school on leasing a building and have hired an architect to draw up renovation plans. Their ideal timeline for opening would be fall of 2026. They are not a 501c3 non-profit so they would need a fiscal sponsor to apply for certain grants. The clerk said she was checking on some grants to see if the city can apply as their sponsor. Troshynski said she liked the idea of acting as a sponsor but on a grant by grant basis so they would need to get approval for each grant that they wanted to apply for so that the city is aware of their plans. The full council was onboard with this process and will wait to hear more on the progress of their plans. No action taken. Agenda item 7 was Paul Hutson to request permission to have more than 6 chickens. The council discussed what has been approved for other homeowners, the location of the property and felt that 6 chickens was sufficient and that more could create an issue with neighbors with potential increased noise or odor. Motion was made by Sporrer and seconded by DeWitt to deny the request for more than 6 chickens. 5 ayes. Council Member Hinkel left the meeting at 6:55.
