The Winterset City Council on Feb. 16 unanimously approved Resolution No. 2026-09 to participate in the Southern Iowa Council of Governments' fiscal year 2027 planning and economic development programs, committing $9,367.75 to the regional organization.
Council Member Mike Fletcher moved to adopt the resolution; Council Member Michael Eller seconded and all council members present voted Aye. The resolution (as read into the record) notes the Southern Iowa Council of Governments' designation by federal and state agencies and affirms the city's financial participation for FY2027.
In the same meeting the council approved construction-related actions for the Winterset wastewater treatment facility (WWTF). Council Member Michael Eller moved to approve Change Order #3 for the WWTF project, seconded by Council Member Mike Fletcher; the motion carried on a unanimous roll-call vote. The transcript does not specify the dollar amount for Change Order #3.
Council Member Michael Cook moved to approve Pay Application #7 for the WWTF project, seconded by Council Member Mary Ann Orr; the motion carried unanimously. The meeting transcript does not list a dollar amount for Pay Application #7. Earlier in the claims list the minutes record a separate WWTF pay application labeled "WWTF Pay App 5" for $641,741.32, which was included in the line-item claims read into the record.
Council also approved claims totaling $833,919.81. Council Member Michael Cook moved approval of the claims, seconded by Council Member Mike Fletcher; all present voted Aye. The claims list read into the record included departmental charges across police, fire, administration, road maintenance, sewer utilities and an itemized WWTF pay application referenced above.
All formal motions recorded in the minutes passed with unanimous votes among the four members present; one council member (Christopher Fairholm) was listed absent. The mayor declared each motion carried following roll-call results.
The council did not discuss detailed terms of the WWTF change order or the Pay Application #7 in the public minutes provided; staff or contractor follow-up would be the next step for dollar amounts and technical details.
