The Adel City Council will convene this evening in regular session.
Due to ongoing COVID-19 concerns, the meeting will be held remotely. It will begin with a proclamation for Historic Preservation Month. There will then be three public hearings, with the first involving water, sanitary sewer, and storm water rate increases. The second is regarding sewer connection fees for the east annex district, and the third is on budget amendments for the current fiscal year. Following the hearings, the Council will consider action on resolutions for each. Also after the hearings, they will get reports from Adel Partners Chamber of Commerce Director Deb Bengtson, City Administrator Anthony Brown, and Parks and Recreation Director Nick Schenck regarding various aspects of the coronavirus impact on Adel.
In new business, the Council will consider approval of the review of the City’s wastewater treatment plant project, including interim financing bids, declaring a specific bid acceptable, and moving forward with the stated bid. Next, they will have discussion and possible action on a request for voluntary severing of territory, or de-annex, for two property owners on the south side of the City. Other items on the agenda include: a wireless internet lease proposal; discussion on the Greater Dallas County Development Alliance; fiscal year 2020 budget transfers; and a 28E agreement to join the Safety Group Central Iowa South.
