The future of the Irongate annexation will be voted on at the City Council meeting today.

City Manager Mark Biernacki said adjustments have been made to the development plans to meet the requests of council members.

“We will now ask the council to vote on this project with the changes made to the plan,” Biernacki said. “The project now does not have an impact fee waiver or adjustment.”

Biernacki said the plan also now meets the request from council members that townhouses make up no more than 10 percent of housing in the development.

Assistant city manager Rudy Espiritu said the matter of the library expansion project will also be discussed.

“It has been reduced from $24 million to $20 million,” Espiritu said. “It will still need to be approved by the state librarian. Reducing the project cost $4 million reduces the money that needs to be raised from $6 million to $2 million.”

Espiritu said the architect designing the project will be present at today’s meeting.

T.J. Moore, director of Public Works, said the Council will also look at a federal participation agreement entailing the connection of the two bike paths in DeKalb.

In the Committee of the Whole Meeting of City Council, a revision of Chapter 52 of the Municipal Code, which addresses facsimile weapons, will be discussed.

“Currently in city ordinance, it prevents use of air fired guns,” Leverton said. “Recently, we’ve had an issue with them looking like real guns, and when they’re displayed in public, people become fearful for their safety.”

Leverton said the revision to the ordinance would give police the capability to regulate use of an array of facsimile weapons, including spring-loaded weapons, as opposed to solely air fired guns.

Biernacki supported the revision to the municipal code.

“We need to make some amendments to our code to keep the peace,” Biernacki said.
