Council approves routine minutes, easements, leases and ordinances; several items introduced for first reading
Summary
The council approved minutes, claims lists, an easement to Interstate Power & Light Company, a farm lease, a residential solid‑waste fee resolution, and several ordinances (animal code amendment, alley vacations) while also introducing items for first consideration.
The City Council moved through its consent agenda and multiple resolutions and ordinances during the May 12 meeting, approving routine and project‑specific items by roll call.
Key actions recorded in this meeting include: adoption of minutes for previous special and regular meetings; acceptance of the claims list; a resolution accepting an offer from Jurgison Hauling LLC and setting a public hearing on the proposed sale of city property at 121 North 4th Street; a resolution setting a public hearing to accept an offer from MGH Properties LLC; approval of a farm lease agreement with Limestone Ridge LLC; and a resolution concerning residential solid waste service fees.
Council approved a resolution authorizing a permanent easement for an electric line to Interstate Power and Light Company related to prior manufacturing‑drive work, and it introduced or approved ordinances concerning vacation of alley segments (first reading introduced and third readings/adoptions later in the agenda), and amendments to Chapter 91 (animal protection and control) were placed on third reading and passed on final passage. The meeting also included approval of a sidewalk project change order (increase from roughly $43,000 to $58,000) after discussion.
A two‑year collective bargaining agreement with the Clinton Police Bargaining Unit (07/01/2026–06/30/2028) was introduced, discussed and adopted by roll call; staff described highlights including a roughly 6–6.5% base increase and an increase in officer insurance contributions from 7% to 9%.
Several items were noted for follow up or additional reporting, including additional information on the sidewalk change order and departmental budget follow‑up related to the budget amendment adopted earlier in the meeting.
