there was a slowdown in Bristol Bay as workers were pulled off that location and moved
to another project, however, they are expected back soon.
3. EDC 2024-10 Property Maintenance Report for December 2023

20th. She also said that Images Med Spa will open February 12th and Boba Tea will open
in March. A mechanic shop is being built near Ground Effects and scheduled to open in
spring.
5. EDC 2024-12 Comprehensive Plan Update – Future Land Use Amendment
Ms. Noble said this is the annual clean-up of the Comp Plan. Two developments, Bristol
Ridge Solar #105 and Northpointe Development, were approved resulting in changes in
land use and zoning. This matter will go to PZC on February 14th for a Public Hearing
and then back to City Council.
6. EDC 2024-13 Resolution Approving an Intergovernmental Agreement for
Reciprocal Building Inspection Services Between the United City of Yorkville and
Kendall County
Ms. Noble said this is the eleventh year that the city and county have entered into an
agreement for inspection services. Last year there were only 7 inspections done for the
city by the county and the city did 38 for the county. Others are outsourced to B & F.
The city would like to continue this agreement with the county which will extend it for
another year. The committee members were OK with this and it will move forward to the
City Council for approval.
