Clive staff reports: SQR cost-share program exceeds goals; special census and near-term lane closures announced
Summary
Staff reported the SQR cost-share program exceeded participation and square-footage goals, warned of short-term interstate ramp closures and urged residents to respond to a special census mailing for neighborhoods west of the interstate.
In staff reports, Pete said the city's soil quality restoration (SQR) cost-share program exceeded its participation goal with "over a 100 families" taking part this year and noted the program exceeded its square-footage improvement target. "We have over a 100 families that are participating in the SQR cost share program this year," Pete said.
Pete also warned of several near-term interstate and ramp closures in September tied to DOT construction delays that will require detour planning and resident outreach. Staff said the city will share detour routes and asked the WRA and DOT for coordinated scheduling to avoid repeated closures that would inconvenience residents and trail users.
The city also reported that a special census for neighborhoods west of the interstate is underway and that affected households should have received mailings; staff urged residents to visit cityofclive.com for more information and to respond online where possible to reduce door-to-door follow-up.
Why it matters: The SQR program reduces water use and improves soil for participating residents; the special census affects funding allocations tied to population counts, and the DOT/WRA closures will have immediate travel impacts.
Next steps: Staff will publicize detours, continue SQR outreach for next-year participation and support the special census communications campaign.
