City staff told the council that the engineer, architect and contractor disagree about responsibility for finishing work near the library entry, where the soil remains sandy and gravelly. Staff recommended paying the application but holding $10,000 until agreed remedial work is completed.

Councilmember Oliphant moved to approve pay application No. 15 with a $10,000 correction to the retainage amount; the motion was seconded by Councilmember Hush and passed on a roll call that recorded unanimous \"aye\" votes.

Staff noted the project warranty/bond period is two years, during which the contractor is responsible for fixing issues that arise. Councilmembers asked staff to monitor the remaining punch list items and report back if further action is needed.","The city approved pay application No. 15 for the Cascade Public Library project, but the council will withhold $10,000 pending satisfactory completion of exterior work, including final grading and seeding.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6577503,"Council tables proposal to add commercial/industrial building permit fee after lengthy discussion",537,252000,789000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3141189-df404faebc0e1b960b2542cc18bf053b&start=252&end=789","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3141189-df404faebc0e1b960b2542cc18bf053b/thumbnail_252000.jpg","/articles/6577503/Cascade-City/Dubuque-County/Iowa/Council-tables-proposal-to-add-commercialindustrial-building-permit-fee-after-lengthy-discussion","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6577503-3e9b21d778e32654a1e202b8427872e8/orig.mp4?Expires=1775284063&Signature=X~kwhK6NSwRs0hepcav-sl1L~Pctx0DpgJFj4Tnt4acX4LDiQ07g2Z2svUD~hgpnYcgUCNEDhgPYV7WKajLwsSukCEnNUpHBfiH9FhsHBXV98hXacxe1V7b65Gn-YsREMuhaVGXl9nZKJpPs0ClAHzJz2iiWblSiX2ukRshRi4V3wwzlh1UUIaCLlxg26mIFnBPeCPOPXi-Cju9180o93E5Rd-qpv9llSfb7AzgvYItIACKUCzGFesWyzbxNu5RgvD31SCnGcrAwdtEXuM6j2jDTOBxOgdajSmcbWY6qru5O0DlH~mpn70mNEdiRJfX1hmLsd1tCY8kKRz4LGdgtAA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Cascade City Council on Monday tabled consideration of an update to building inspection and permit fees after extended discussion about fees charged by Eastern Iowa Construction Inspection Authority (ECIA) and whether the city duplicates work done by outside reviewers.

Staff and council members discussed plans-review charges ECIA bills to the city — including plan review, site inspections and final inspections — and a proposed $250 flat permit fee for commercial and industrial buildings to recover some of those costs. City staff said the $250 fee would be in addition to existing plan-review charges tied to building size; ECIA's fees for larger buildings were cited as examples during the discussion.

Councilmembers questioned whether ECIA duplicates work that could be done internally and asked staff to verify current charges under the 2022 agreement. Councilmember Weber moved to table the resolution and Councilmember Gale seconded; the motion passed on a unanimous roll call.

Council members asked staff to track a recently proposed commercial project'to compare what the city charged versus ECIA fees and to return with a recommendation. Craig from ECIA was referenced in the discussion but did not speak at the meeting.

No fee change was adopted; the item will return to a future agenda after staff brings back additional information about ECIA charges and the impact on city revenues.","Councilmembers debated a proposed $250 commercial/industrial building permit fee tied to ECIA review costs, then voted unanimously to table the resolution while staff gathers more fee and contract information.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6577508,"Cascade City Council adopts fiscal 2026 operating budget",76,132000,208000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3141189-df404faebc0e1b960b2542cc18bf053b&start=132&end=208","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3141189-df404faebc0e1b960b2542cc18bf053b/thumbnail_132000.jpg","/articles/6577508/Cascade-City/Dubuque-County/Iowa/Cascade-City-Council-adopts-fiscal-2026-operating-budget","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6577508-851a8a764f4b1cc98819063c565285bb/orig.mp4?Expires=1775284063&Signature=eQQBOX2Spw6Q~mAs~y2PbXK6fx57QDHmtUGipgh7apWO9s6s0VdNbUMkMwieX8jsxf08euBJzKQ6Q3R-K3dRHYOIX~F6KtzW2R2puJJpVQljgxlxoTXApuRg3rI6lCe0wTydDm0f-~5uNnL5OkCpdXqII6YDxmtsDUYDskfuduJoP2cYUTN25QJjgtVk77qzJ5DrtymmzWbxpHE9uMjRJhw8rKTCwnnwOLE745XQJlQpGB3biuHuW-mrMtgj8iGPIKE6JDZOu~gkZd1gA616WAaRpMX2t7XMlx4ce7zSU2P1Qukjm7~TPkspiPj-o4FflwkIpqVBe3PwP8SBqYG1jA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Cascade City Council voted unanimously Monday to adopt the city's fiscal year 2026 operating budget.
