Sigourney council adopts food-truck ordinance; approves licenses, tax exemptions and payments
Summary
At its Aug. 20 meeting the Sigourney City Council adopted a mobile food unit ordinance on third reading, approved liquor licenses and tax exemptions on a consent agenda, and approved $78,107.66 in accounts payable with two council members abstaining because of family business connections.
The Sigourney City Council on Aug. 20 approved a range of routine business and enacted a mobile food unit regulation on its third and final reading.
Council member Clark introduced the third reading of an ordinance amending Title VI — Physical Environment — Chapter 13 (Mobile Food Unit Regulations). Clark said, "this is the third and final reading for the Food Truck Ordinance, there have not been any changes to the Ordinance." Council member Clark moved and Council member McLaughlin seconded; the roll call vote was unanimous in favor (Ayes: Lentz, Schultz, Clark, Conrad, McLaughlin, Iosbaker). The ordinance passed its third reading.
On a single consent motion the council approved Minutes of Aug. 6, 2025; liquor licenses for Grant Ranch, LLC (121 S. Jefferson Street) and Family Dollar Stores of Iowa (329 N. Main Street); Resolution 2025-08-17 (street closing for the Sigourney Fountain Festival); tax-exemption resolutions 2025-08-18 (Gary Bain, 910 N. Main Street) and 2025-08-19 (Carolyne Check, 208 E.

Council member McLaughlin moved, seconded by Council member Conrad, to approve council accounts payable claims in the amount of $78,107.66. The motion passed with four Ayes (Clark, Conrad, McLaughlin, Iosbaker) and two abstentions. The minutes record that Schultz abstained because his nephew owns Exceptional Edge; Lentz abstained because a brother owns Atwood Electric.
The meeting adjourned at 6:21 p.m.
