Tonganoxie council to weigh $2.8 million in bonds for veterinary clinic expansion
Monday's agenda also includes a grant-funded Police Equipment Fund budget amendment.
TONGANOXIE - The Tonganoxie City Council will hold a public hearing Monday on issuing up to $2.8 million in industrial revenue bonds to finance a new building for Pleasant Valley Veterinary Clinic, according to the Nov. 16 agenda packet. After the hearing, the council will consider Resolution No. 11-26-01, which states the city's intent to issue the bonds for JCS Real Estate LLC.
The 5,400-square-foot building on Lot 4 of the Sunflower Plains Subdivision would house an expansion of the existing clinic, which expects to add 11 jobs over time, the agenda statement says. Using the bonds qualifies the project for a five-year, 60% property tax abatement under city policy. The resolution is the first of two steps; issuing the bonds would take a later ordinance.
The council will also consider amending the 2026 Police Equipment Fund budget for grant-funded purchases, including a prescription-drug disposal program and breath-test and radar/lidar equipment reimbursed through a state traffic-safety grant. The change adds $14,000 in grant revenue and $18,000 in spending.
The meeting starts at 7 p.m. and streams on the city's YouTube channel. Written comments are accepted until 1 p.m. the day of the meeting, according to the City Council page.
