Agenda item 6 was the Community Visioning Committee to review their final plans with the Council and approve the Visioning Committee applying for grants for their first Visioning project. Tammy Hinkel, Mat Gross and Bruce Niedermyer reviewed the final designs with the Council that the Committee collaborated on over the last year. They had very good attendance at the open houses held at the Extension Office as well as the homecoming football game and are very pleased with the community involvement and support they stated. They would like to keep the momentum going and get started on their first project by making improvements to the intersection of 4th Avenue and 6th Street so that the community can see what some of the visions for the future improvements to the downtown district are. The project would include improvements to crosswalks, parking changes and enhancements, sidewalk replacements (by private property owners), amenities added such as park benches, lighting and trees and possible utility pole removal. The estimated cost of the project varies greatly depending on how much of the block is done on the 6th Street side and whether or not the utilities are taken underground. Some of the council questioned whether or not the entire block should be redesigned due to future removal of the apartment building that sits near the alley and whether that portion of the project should wait until the building is removed. The Committee members discussed grant opportunities, city contributions, private donations and asked the Council if they would be willing to contribute to the project and the overall consensus from the Council was that they support the Visioning Committee’s plans for the future of the downtown district as well as all of the other plans such as wayfinding signage, walking trails and safe routes to school plans. Motion was made by Scheuring and seconded by Sporrer to approve the Community Visioning Committee’s plans to apply for grants for their first Visioning project. 4 ayes. Agenda item 7 was an update on the Street Paving projects. Craig Beedle of V&K and Utility Superintendent Dustin Moores updated the Council on the different aspects of the project. The streets that received asphalt are mostly done with some minor items to repair. The asphalt on 5th Avenue was changed in order to try to not have an issue with the drainage in the gutters. It has created some issues with some of the driveways on the east side of the street so the engineers are looking at a way to replace some of the curbs to alleviate the issues. The 7th Street water main has been lowered at the Elm Ave. intersection and the estimate for materials and labor to lower that portion of the water main is around $20,000 it was stated. Dustin reported that Carley Construction is estimating that the Asphalt portion of the project is about $60,000 over their bid due to quantity changes. No estimate on where the concrete portion of the project is yet. The work to the front of city hall is progressing and concrete should start to be poured this week. Right now the east and west doors to the building are unlocked during the day for anyone coming in to city hall. Craig said he is expecting a pay request this week from Carley Construction and it will be on the next agenda. Agenda item 8 was to discuss and approve the first reading of Ordinance 479: An ordinance amending Chapter 91 Water Meters. The ordinance change states that the City will be responsible for the cost of water meters larger than a one inch meter but with the meter size to be determined by the water superintendent. Motion was made by Moss and seconded by Sporrer to approve the first reading of Ordinance 479, an ordinance amending Chapter 91 Water Meters. 4 ayes. Agenda item 9 was to review the Street Finance Report but the Clerk reported that it was not ready for the council to review yet and should be finished by the next meeting. Agenda item 10 was the Clerk’s report. The Clerk updated the council on the recently attended Iowa League of Cities Conference held in Waterloo. Agenda item 11 was citizen’s questions/comments.
