At its Dec. 9, 2024 meeting the Cascade City Council recorded the following formal actions and outcomes (motions carried by roll call unless otherwise noted):

- Resolution 120-24 — Approve Pay Application No. 7 for the Iowa 136 (Johnson Street) reconstruction in the amount of $100,926.38. Outcome: approved; staff said final retainage will wait until spring pending DOT audit and remaining cement grinding.

- Resolution 121-24 — Approve Change Order No. 5 to the Midwest Concrete contract for Highway 136 South (additional signage, erosion control, topsoil). Outcome: approved; staff stated the majority of the cost is covered by the state but the transcript contains inconsistent numeric references for the city share.
