At Thursday’s regular meeting, the Hays City Commission will consider a resolution of support for a housing developer planning rental housing south of East 22nd Street near Hays Medical Center.
Overland Property Group is seeking tax credits to help finance the project, which would consist of two buildings and either 32 or 48 new apartments.
The developer, which owns 63 rental units in Hays including Stonepost Apartments on South Main, has sought and received similar resolutions of support from the city in the past.
According to a memo to commissioners, the development is consistent with the city’s comprehensive plan, which points out a dearth of higher-density housing.
Overland Property expects to find out whether the tax credit request has been approved in May.
In other business at the meeting, scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Thursday at City Hall, commissioners will consider:
• A request for proposal from Arthur J. Gallagher for a five-year renewal term for broker and risk management services.
• An addendum to an agreement with Nex-Tech that would obligations to maintain a website for Bickle-Schmidt Sports Complex to the Hays Daily News. As part of a naming rights package, Nex-Tech would maintain responsibilities for Internet, telephone and marketing.
• Clarification of the city’s sewer service definitions to more accurately define a business user.
