The Sanborn City Council met
Legal Noitce
c in regular session Monday, July 14, in the Donald Kroese Council Chambers. Mayor Randy Lyman called the meeting to order at 5:00 p.m. with the following Council Members present: Jerry Back, Kevin Groendyke, Larry Reitsma, Brian Visser, and Aaron Wiekamp. Others present: Wendy Reed, Adam Roelfs, and Jim Zeutenhorst.
Motion Groendyke, seconded by Reitsma, to approve the agenda. Roll call was taken. Roll call: Ayes 5 /Nays 0
Mayor then announced at 5:02pm this was the time and place for the CDBG Application Public Hearing to comply with participation requirements of Section 508 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1987. The City of Sanborn will submit a Community Block Grant Application (CDBG) to the Iowa Economic Development Authority on behalf of Kids Express Daycare by no later than July 23, 2025. The CDBG application will request Federal CDBG funds in the amount of $600,000 to assist Kids Express Daycare in making renovations and improvements to a 6,000 sq. ft. wing of the Prairie View Campus building located at 610 Eastern Street, Sanborn, Iowa, for a new daycare facility serving more children than it can accommodate at its current facility. Project improvements will include interior renovations of 6,000 square feet of space to create four (4) classroom spaces for each age group as well as an indoor play area, bathrooms, dining and kitchenette and staff breakroom and office. The exterior of the project will include signage, security, and a drop-off parking area.
The need for the project is a result of Kids Express Daycare wanting to increase its capacity from 57 kids to 120-130 kids. The current facility is aging and deteriorating, and the foundation has serious issues. It is more financially feasible immediately and in the long term to move the daycare to the proposed building at 610 Eastern Street and to make necessary renovations and improvements to a wing of the nursing home facility versus renovation to the current daycare facility. Additionally, having daycare within the nursing home building will allow for additional daycare activities in an intergenerational setting between children and older residents, which will lead to physical and cognitive health benefits for the children and residents. There will be interaction between the children and the aging population for activities like art, music, reading, games and socialization.
The estimated cost for the project is $1,000,000. The proposed activities will be funded with $600,000 federal CDBG funds and Kid’s Express Daycare contributing $400,000 in local matching funds. The estimated portion of federal CDBG funds that will benefit persons of low and moderate income (LMI) is 62% or $372,000.
Due to the nature of this project no persons or businesses shall be displaced as a result of the recommended project. In the event that any persons or businesses are displaced as a result of the recommended project, the entities involved in the project will adhere to the requirements of the Uniform Relocation and Assistance and Acquisition Act of 1974, as amended. Mayor asked if there were any written or verbal comments, none were received. Mayor called the public hearing closed at 5:03 pm. Councilperson Back moved to approve Resolution #2025-18 A Resolution of the City Council of Sanborn, Iowa, to Approve the Submission of a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Application on Behalf of Subrecipient Kids Express Daycare; and Sign Said Application and Related Materials; and NWIPDC to Help Prepare and Submit CDBG Application; and to Approve a Community Development and Housing Needs Assessment. Councilperson Visser seconded. Vote results: Ayes 5/Nays 0
Motion made by Groendyke, seconded by Reitsma, to go into closed session per Iowa Code 21.5(c) To discuss strategy with counsel in matters that are presently in litigation or where litigation is imminent where its disclosure would be likely to prejudice or disadvantage the position of the governmental body in that litigation. Roll call: Ayes Back, Groendyke, Reitsma, Visser, Wiekamp. Nays None. Time 5:11 pm, Session recorded.
Motion by Back, seconded by Wiekamp, to resume open session. Time 6:11 pm. Roll Call: Back, Groendyke, Reitsma, Visser, and Wiekamp. Nays None.
