Eldridge council approves multiple ordinances, accepts Ivory Acres improvements and authorizes routine purchases
Summary
The Eldridge City Council approved several rezoning ordinances and administrative code changes in final or second readings, accepted public improvements for Ivy/Ivory Acres, approved a $28,178 lift-station pump purchase, amended a YMCA 28E insurance requirement and recorded no action on a proposed permanent speed hump.
The Eldridge City Council moved through a packed agenda and recorded votes on multiple ordinances, resolutions and routine purchases during its meeting.
Ordinances and readings: The council approved the third and final readings of Ordinance 2025-9 (rezoning Revolved Farms parcels from Suburban Agricultural to I2 General Industrial), Ordinance 2025-20 (rezoning RG Prime and Slopertown LLC parcels from Suburban Agricultural to I2 General Industrial), and Ordinance 2025-21 (amending publishing requirements). The council also approved second readings that passed to the next step for Ordinance 2025-22 (pool and spa fencing), Ordinance 2025-23 (updating stop intersections), and Ordinance 2025-24 (defining electric scooters and regulations).
Resolutions and purchases: Council approved Resolution 2025-25 accepting final public improvements for Ivy (Ivory) Acres parts one and two, noting a small number of contingencies. The council approved a budgeted purchase of a spare lift-station pump for the Buttermilk lift station from Mississippi Valley Pump for $28,178.
YMCA 28E amendment: Council approved an amendment to the 28E agreement with the YMCA and North Scott School District to change a liability-occurrence requirement from $10 million to $5 million after staff said the YMCA's insurer could not currently provide coverage above $5 million. Staff asked the YMCA to document carriers that declined higher-coverage offers and recommended the YMCA secure $10 million once the market permits.
Speed hump: Staff presented a proposal for a permanent concrete speed hump on Diamond Drive at an estimated $9,500. Council members favored installing a temporary hump first to evaluate location and performance; no action was taken on the permanent installation at this meeting.
