The Salem City Council Tuesday night will consider an additional downtown TIF agreement with Jered Gambill who is preparing to renovate more downtown buildings.
Under the proposal, Gambill would receive $47,000 in TIF money to purchase and renovate buildings at 122 West Main and 102, 104, and 106 North Walnut Street. Gambill would receive $10,000 for property acquisition. He would be paid the rest of the reimbursement after roof repair, tuckpointing and other measures to bolster and protect the structural integrity of the building are completed.
Gambill is also seeking approval to allow second floor dwelling units at 118 and 120 West Main. The planning commission has already given its unanimous approval.
The council will be asked to purchase property at 404 West Schwartz from the Marion County Trustee for $814. The council will then recommend the property as surplus and seek bids. The minimum will be the cost of purchase and titling of the property.
The council will consider the purchase of two walkable floats for the Salem Aquatic Center to replace the current play features that have worn out.
Four bid awards will be considered to materials used for the summer road improvement program.
The meeting begins at six Tuesday night at Salem City Hall. The meeting is being pushed back from Monday due to the President’s Day Holiday.
