Laingsburg council to weigh master plan, library budget on July 7

The agenda for the Laingsburg City Council's July 7 meeting lists a master plan resolution, a district library agreement, Summerfest street closures and a decision on Treat Street right of way.

The Laingsburg City Council meets Tuesday, July 7, 2026, at 7 p.m., with a 13-item agenda that includes a master plan resolution, the Laingsburg Library budget and a choice between two options for a Treat Street right of way parcel, according to the agenda posted by the city.

The meeting opens with the call to order, Pledge of Allegiance, roll call and public comment, the agenda states. A consent agenda follows, covering the treasurer's report, bills and approval of City Council minutes. The agenda notes that if any council member wishes to discuss one of those items, it should be moved to the regular agenda; the remaining items may be approved together.

Under items of business, the council is scheduled to take up a payroll budget covering 2013/14 through 2025/26, a motion to approve Resolution 2613 on the master plan, and a motion to approve Resolution 2614 declining ownership of drinking water for Hidden Glen Apartments.

The agenda also lists a motion to approve Option 1 or Option 2 for parcel 022-60-077-000-00, described as the Treat Street right of way. The agenda does not describe what the two options contain.

Four further motions are listed: approval of poverty exemption guidelines for 2026, approval of the Laingsburg Library 26/27 budget, approval of a district library agreement, and approval of an SEDP membership. A tenth item asks the council to close streets for Summerfest and a pancake breakfast. The agenda does not list which streets or the dates.

Three items appear under "other items": a motion to proceed with an ordinance change for Ordinance number 18-302(g), a DDA response to a mural that the agenda says is documented in DDA meeting minutes, and a kayak launch. No further detail on those items appears in the agenda.

Committee reports are scheduled from the library, Planning Commission, DDA, DPW, finance and police, along with a building inspector report, before adjournment. The agenda is signed by City Clerk Kim Hamilton and Mayor Gregory Beavers.
