City Council 3-1-16

Agenda, Minutes, Recording

• The council discussed, and was in favor of, adding signage to 1150 w. to note the historical nickname of the street as “Kid Lane”.  This would be between Riverdale Road and 4400 s.  This was proposed to the city by resident Kent Anderson.
• The council approved half of a resolution amending HR policy 3-2; adjusting the language of the equal opportunity section to be in line with state and federal law.
• The council denied the other half of that resolution that would have added a new section (9-18) to the HR policy implementing a new severance package benefit for department heads, Recorder and Treasurer.
• The council awarded a bid in the amount of $165,000 dollars to Counter Point Construction to install a hydrodynamic separator in the storm water system near the 4400 s. outfall to the river.  This is the first of many of these in the city that will at some point need to be done.  These units are a preventative measure to help keep the river free from storm drainage pollutants.
• The council adopted the Annual Municipal Waste Water Report for 2016.  This is required by the state.  Our system is currently in good condition with a maintencance program that is operating sufficiently.

City Council 3-15-16

Agenda, Minutes, Recording

• J.U.B. Engineers made a presentation to the council on the new park design.  This was the same presentation made at the park open house in February.  The only difference being there were no questions from the audience, and they had a representative go over some possible funding options through several different grants.  Some conceptual design graphics and information from this presentiation are now available on the city website here.
• Fire Chief Sholly made a presentation explaining some changes to the Old Glory Days fireworks viewing and launching areas at the park.  He feels these changes are necessary to maximize the safety of the viewers and the surrounding buildings.  I’ve included a graphic of the changes below.
