At the last city council meeting, a lengthy discussion between the council and Dru and Dean Held, Redbarn Farms developers, stalled when a motion by council member Randi Tolin failed for a lack of a second.
Council members stated that they weren’t comfortable with the risks and hadn’t been able to read all of the documentation ahead of time, due to e-mail issues and files that wouldn’t open.
“It’s a lot of information taken at one time and I don’t think that they were able to get a clear understanding of the risk parameters,” City Administrator Joe Turner said about the meeting. “I think that’s where some of the reservations come from. So, I just think that was a little bit overwhelming.”
To this point, the city has only had to take baby steps that required little to no risk as they’ve walked beside the Helds and their dream to build five new houses in Sedgwick.
