Summary
The council accepted vendor quotes to complete surfacing and fencing for a new pickleball court, waived a temporary liquor license fee for the Mantorville Restoration Association, and approved exclusive park use and fireworks for Marigold Days; some councilmembers abstained from event-related votes due to MRA membership.
The Mantorville City Council on July 14 accepted vendor quotes for surfacing and fencing at a new pickleball court in Slingerland Park and approved several event-related items for community festivals.
