City leaders have scheduled this public hearing for their first council meeting of the new year on Monday, Jan. 4. Wall Lake generally holds their council meetings on the second and fourth Monday of each month, but Rodman says they are holding additional meetings in January to ensure business is conducted in a timely manner. The council will accept commentary from the public during the hearing, but Rodman says the proceedings will be largely a formality.
The Jan. 4 meeting begins at 7 p.m. at Wall Lake City Hall. Due to COVID-19 mitigation protocols, residents interested in submitting their comments are encouraged to do so in a written format rather than in-person. Once the TIF funding is approved, Rodman says Robinson Ruhnke, PC will finalize their plans for an office in Wall Lake and likely begin providing services out of the new location sometime in 2021.
