Summary

City staff introduced Jake Meschke as Indianola's new city manager and informed the Planning and Zoning Commission that the next two meetings are likely to be canceled due to the manager's travel.

Bill, a city staff member, told the Planning and Zoning Commission that the city's new city manager started the previous Wednesday and brought him to the June 10 meeting for an introduction. "This is Jake Meschke," Bill said.

Jake Meschke addressed the commission and briefly described his background: he said he previously served as deputy city manager for Brookings, South Dakota, and that he has bachelor's and master's degrees from Arizona State University. He said he wanted to "take in a bunch of information" as he began the job and thanked commissioners for their service.

Bill also told the commission it is "very likely" the next two meetings would be canceled because he will be out of town for about 19 days; staff said cancellation notices would be sent if no new items are submitted. No formal action or vote was recorded on the schedule note.
