Property sales approved included the transfer of 935 Eleventh Avenue South to Chris Frazier for $500 and the transfer of 721 South Sixth Street to Busy Bee Properties for $100; both sales were adopted by resolution after public hearings produced no public objections on the record.

The council also ratified a form of loan and disbursement agreement with the Iowa Finance Authority authorizing issuance of taxable sewer revenue capital loan notes in the principal amount of $4,028,000 (series 2025). The resolution confirmed the prior action to increase the authorized amount and was adopted by roll call.

Other measures adopted included approval to submit a Timken Foundation grant application and related fundraising to buy down LaSalle Community Outreach funds for purchase of a fire-prevention trailer; a resolution retaining the lobbying firm IEF Walton (dba E Walton) for regional/state legislative services; and final passage of an ordinance amending city code section 30.62 regarding advisory appointments committee interview requirements (third reading and adoption).

The council received and placed on file a review of an EPA Region 7 inspection report concerning the city's combined sewer system. Council member Kearns noted the city is on track with its combined-sewer control plan and that staff reported no violations were identified in the inspection letter; the council accepted the inspection review and placed it on file.

All listed measures were approved on roll-call votes recorded as affirmative by the members present. Where public commenters or staff provided detail at meetings, the council recorded next steps such as fundraising or kickoff planning, but no implementation schedules were included for the sales or grant-funded equipment purchases.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Regular City Council - Jun 24 2025","oneSentenceSummary","At its June meeting the Clinton City Council approved sales of two city-owned parcels, ratified sewer revenue loan notes, authorized a grant application for a fire-prevention trailer, retained a lobbying firm, adopted a code amendment on advisory appointments, and accepted an EPA inspection report for the combined sewer system.","taxTitle","Clinton City, Clinton County, Iowa","taxId",55531,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6657778,"Council approves ECIA contract to administer $650,000 downtown CDBG for Ankeny Building and 220 Fifth Avenue S.",304,493000,797000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5066472-ab02f36a512fb4896b79d48e77b2a99a&start=493&end=797","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5066472-ab02f36a512fb4896b79d48e77b2a99a/thumbnail_493000.jpg","/articles/6657778/Clinton-City/Clinton-County/Iowa/Council-approves-ECIA-contract-to-administer-650000-downtown-CDBG-for-Ankeny-Building-and-220-Fifth-Avenue-S","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6657778-4800b700a70f5798bf3f3763e2e8a023/orig.mp4?Expires=1775143916&Signature=X8Mk6Xcp3d0WNwpFWAG5Wqt~74uQzYAQpNTfbgxFpHUzBPg6tZ0HlfJcLk4MyYnrbEsrNj4cP3YdpKmRJ4F1r~btsbpO9zRP9MO2JeU2yX3GQPltKyUjA8MvMW6dlNPSrKCwh6eW9TuYQErCsQU6gT-POrVHqSQv7sZwZfu9G0iABajA2TGiFSwnhLP6XO5DZd2tenr2WMGsKxDdD17pZ5Czcb3i5rz4IZz~vWw8MZ0NIWI0k456bc0bkV14GslM0pBxfOakQV6ZOSjTE~cKInF6ZYDJouZqrOwU0UkaDpm9H~jRThsBCSeFW5gsxwSKna8lVfgQpA76ruBg7~af2A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Clinton City Council voted to approve a contract with the East Central Intergovernmental Association (ECIA) to administer a $650,000 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) award for facade improvements at the Ankeny Building and 220 Fifth Avenue South.

The funding comes from CDBG award 25-DTR-005 and is designated for downtown revitalization façade improvements. Council member Seeley moved the resolution to approve the contract; the motion passed on a roll call vote with council members present recorded as voting in favor.

At the public hearing, a speaker identified only as Liz, participating remotely, said the funds “have been awarded,” that a kickoff meeting with interested parties was scheduled, and that “Sarah Poman from the state is coming in to meet with us, to get things going.” No other members of the public spoke in opposition and the council closed the hearing before taking the vote.

The council did not discuss alternate administrators or opposition during the hearing. The motion adopted puts ECIA on contract to carry out grant administration tasks; the council record showed no conditions attached to the contract approval.

Officials present said they expected a kickoff meeting with state staff to begin project planning; no schedule for construction or façade work was specified in the hearing record.","The Clinton City Council authorized East Central Intergovernmental Association to administer a $650,000 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) downtown revitalization award for facade improvements to the Ankeny Building and 220 Fifth Avenue South, after a brief public hearing with no public opposition.","actionData","errors"]
