Redevelopment commission approves May minutes and routine claims including TIF report fee

The City of Washington Redevelopment Commission approved the minutes of its May 21, 2026 meeting and voted to approve the claims presented at the July 16 meeting.

Staff member summarized line items in the claims, saying the trustee payments included “5,008 for the water and 3,000 for the sewer,” that a payment was made to Bank of New York on the sewer line SRS bond, and that the commission paid a professional-services invoice to “Baker Chili” for work on the TIF gateway report and related mailings to adjoining entities. The staff member described the work as: “They did our TIF gateway report,” as transcribed.

Chair called for a motion to approve the minutes and later a motion to approve the claims; motions were made and seconded on the record and the commission approved both items by voice vote. The transcript does not record individual roll-call vote tallies or identify different individuals as mover and seconder by name; the motions were recorded generically in the meeting transcript.

The approvals clear routine administrative business and allow staff to proceed with processing the listed payments and vendor invoices. The commission adjourned and set its next meeting for Sept. 17, 2026.
