Altoona council advances multiple consent items, OKs Hy‑Vee alcohol license
Summary
Council approved a multi-item consent agenda that included pay applications and change orders for capital projects, set hearings for water-main replacement and rezoning, and approved a Class E retail alcohol license for Hy‑Vee by unanimous vote.
During the May 5 meeting the Altoona City Council advanced a multi-item consent agenda covering bills and pay applications, change orders, resolutions to set bond-sale dates, and several public-hearing notices.
Items listed included Change Order #2 and Pay App #3 for Des Moines Dirt Worx (Prairie Heritage Civic Center Plaza Pond Improvements) totaling $28,383.00 and $41,527.73 respectively; Pay App #3 for On Track Construction's SE Sanitary Sewer Extension Phase 1 at $549,017.73; and Pay App #1 for Midwest Field Turf for the Spring Creek Sports Complex turf replacement at $228,033.25. The consent agenda also included resolutions setting dates for sale of General Obligation Urban Renewal Bonds, Series 2025A and 2025B, a public hearing for the Water Main Replacement 2025 Project, a hearing notice for adoption of the city's Code of Ordinances, a task order amendment for McClure Engineering, nuisance-abatement assessments, several event requests, and liquor/beer permit considerations.
A separate roll-call vote approved Hy‑Vee Food Store's Class E retail alcohol license unanimously (5-0). The consent agenda items were presented as a grouped package; the transcript records the items and their pay-app amounts but does not show individual debate on each consent component.
Staff will proceed with the administrative steps required for each consent item, including publishing required notices, processing pay applications, and preparing bond sale materials per the resolutions approved or introduced at the meeting.
