Council meeting 3-22 part 1

An update from the council meeting on Monday night, and stuff that was discussed. A reminder for y'all to contact City Hall to get on the City email distro list. It will be used for community bulletins--maybe about water issues, or reminders about garbage day changes. It is a very low volume thing, if that is a concern. But a good way for you to get a note about some event in town.

We had a big discussion/presentation about proposed street upgrades to Elm Street, just north of the middle school, and the 100th block of Logan Street. The council is going to have an informational meeting on that topic on Monday, April 12 at 7PM in the Community Center. We will have our regular city council meeting at 6PM, just prior. The city council meeting that night will move to the Community Center as well, so we can jump right into the streets meeting, after our council meeting. I will have more info in my blog on this topic, at a later date.

We got an update on the library construction. Walls are painted, the ceiling is good to go. Bookshelves are soon to arrive. The council approved an appropriation for the purchase of some of the interior furnishings. The move date is now looking like it might be on Saturday, April 24.

We also had a visit from the Ames Resource Recovery plant, as well the regional recycling facility in Bondurant. I'll have more details on that in a future blog post.

I will be attending a meeting on April 1, where we get an initial report on ideas for our sewer upgrade. So that elephant has been in the back yard for awhile, but it will soon be moving front and center.
