Summary
At a May 1, 2025, Wallsburg Town Council public hearing, officials named a town stormwater drainage plan as one of two projects to apply for funding through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Small Cities Program for program year 2025; the second project was not specified during the hearing.
Wallsburg — The Wallsburg Town Council held its second Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) public hearing on May 1, 2025, to gather public comment on two projects the town plans to apply for under the CDBG Small Cities Program for program year 2025. Council members present included Scott Larson, Ron Horton, Selene Richards, Terry Issel, Mary Picitelli and Alicia O'Driscoll. The hearing opened at 7:02 p.m.
The session identified a town stormwater drainage plan and implementation as one of the two proposed projects. Troy Osworth of Pacifico Engineering was introduced as the town engineer to explain the project and answer questions. "Troy Osworth, Pacifico Engineering," was how Osworth introduced himself during the meeting. The hearing's stated purpose was to solicit comments on project scope, implementation and potential effects on residents.
The moderator said the public hearing "was called to allow all citizens to provide input" on the proposed projects. Officials also noted that the town attorney was not present and that the town clerk, Alicia O'Driscoll, was in attendance. Meeting organizers asked attendees about sign-in procedures and outlined the order of business before the engineer's presentation.
The transcript of the hearing records that two projects would be part of the town's CDBG application package, but the second project's name or scope was not specified in the remarks captured in the hearing record. The council said comments would be solicited on project scope and implementation and on how projects might affect residents; no formal motion, vote or funding decision was taken during the portion of the hearing recorded in the transcript.
Next steps cited by the council and staff include taking public input during the hearing and preparing the town's CDBG application for program year 2025. Additional hearings, staff reports or council agenda items to advance any application were not specified in the available record.
