Votes at a glance: Clinton City Council sets multiple hearings, adopts ordinances and confirms appointments
Summary
At the meeting the council approved consent items, amended a claims listing, set public hearings for several CDBG and rezoning matters, adopted multiple ordinances (including curfew and tobacco-permit updates) and confirmed appointments, including Tammy Johnson as community development director.
The Clinton City Council acted on a bundle of routine and policy items at the meeting: it approved the consent agenda, amended a claims listing to remove a duplicate vehicle upfitting charge, set public hearings for several community-development and rezoning measures, adopted multiple ordinances on curfew and tobacco/alternative nicotine sales permits, and confirmed council appointments for 2025 including renaming the local Convention & Visitors Bureau to the Tourism and Placement Division (TPD) within Grow Clinton.
Key actions recorded by the council included:
- Consent agenda approved and claims listing amended to remove a duplicate charge related to a command vehicle upfitting (council directed removal so the item is not approved twice). The council then approved the remainder of the claims as amended.
- Resolution confirming city council appointments for 2025 adopted; council also noted the Convention and Visitors Bureau name change to Tourism and Placement Division for Grow Clinton ahead of an upcoming tourism discussion.
- Resolutions were adopted to set public hearings for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) downtown revitalization funding and for the City of Clinton Community Development and Housing Needs Assessment. The council also adopted a resolution authorizing ECIA to assist with a CDBG application targeting the Ankeny and State Farm buildings.
- Resolutions were set to hold public hearings on proposed rezoning for parcels on the 25100 block of Liberty Avenue and at 2586 Liberty Avenue, and for the proposed vacation of an alley behind 1247 9th Avenue South (planning commission had recommended denial for the alley vacation; the council set the public hearing to gather public input).
- The council set a public hearing and timeline related to an amendment to the Lincoln Way Industrial Rail and Air Park Urban Renewal Plan tied to the sale of about 34.09 acres (as stated during discussion).
- The council approved final/adopted ordinances amending Chapter 134.01 (curfew) and Chapter 111 (cigarette, tobacco, alternative nicotine and vapor-device sales permits), and approved updates to code chapters 32, 150, 154 and 155 to update departmental references tied to building and neighborhood services and the Clinton Fire Department and Community Development.
- The council adopted a resolution appointing Tammy Johnson as the Community Development Director for the City of Clinton.
Most motions were approved by roll call with unanimous “yes” votes from council members present. Where items required public hearings, the council scheduled dates and directed staff to provide public-notice materials and supporting documents ahead of those hearings.
