Votes at a glance

The consent agenda included numerous permit approvals, a tentative labor agreement resolution, health-insurance renewals, a fire-department clinical-site agreement, an amendment to a Dust Pros agreement, surplus-property determination and urban revitalization designations. Several consent items were described on the record but not debated individually.
- Ordinance: Third consideration (final adoption) of chapter 99 (sewerage charges) with an amendment to correct a scrivener's error: Motion to amend and proceed passed after roll call. Recorded votes in discussion: Dalby 'Aye'; Armstrong 'No'; Jones 'Aye'; Mead 'Aye'; Gray 'Aye' (result: motion carries).
- Resolution appointing Bob to a member representation position: Approved (motion and second; roll call: motion carries).
- Treasurer's reports: Motions to receive and file January, February and March 2025 treasurer's reports were made and approved on the record.
- Public hearing and adoption of FY26 budget (resolution adopting the FY26 budget): Approved following public hearing and staff presentation (motion and roll call recorded; motion carries). See separate coverage for budget details.
- Resolution suspending certain automatic salary increases under local code and a related resolution: Council voted to revert council and board wages to the 2024 salary level rather than applying an automatic CPI-based 3% increase; motion carried on roll call.
- Motion to move into closed session (Iowa Code 21.5(1)(i) cited): Approved on roll call; council entered closed session.
Notes: For several items the meeting record referenced ordinance or code chapters by number; staff and council discussed procedural clarifications (for example, correcting scrivener's errors on the sewerage ordinance prior to final adoption). Where a formal vote tally of named members was recorded in the transcript those names and votes are included above; for votes recorded only as "motion carries," this summary reports the motion outcome as recorded.
Ending: These items reflect the formal recorded outcomes from the April 21 meeting; full minutes and ordinance/resolution text will be published by the city clerk as part of the official record.
