Eldora council approves multiple routine resolutions including alert software, legal services, trail payment and a small stormwater repair
Summary
At its regular meeting the Eldora City Council approved several resolutions: community notification software, a legal services agreement for code compliance, an interim EMS wage adjustment, the first recreational-trail payment, the removal of a problematic street pole, and a not-to-exceed $6,000 stormwater repair near 9th and 9th.
The Eldora City Council approved a package of routine administrative, public‑works and fiscal actions during the meeting.
Software and legal services: On a roll-call vote the council approved resolution 4253523 to subscribe to a resident notification application (described as a push‑notification app) at $2,400 per year for two years; the finance committee recommended approval. The council also approved resolution 4253524 to engage Lynch Dallas PC for legal help on code‑compliance matters; staff said parameters will be set to limit unanticipated legal bills.
Personnel and loan steps: Council confirmed an interim wage adjustment for Owen Spencer as acting EMS director following Shawn Davis’s resignation by approving resolution 4253525. The council also set a public hearing (special meeting April 23 at 6 p.m.) via resolution 4253526 to consider entering a general‑fund loan agreement with the Eldora Industrial Development Corporation for an amount not to exceed $100,000 at 0% interest as part of Fairway‑related development obligations.
Trail and stormwater projects: The council approved resolution 4253528 to make the first payment on the recreational trail project; staff reported the trail is progressing faster than expected and currently under budget. Separately, after staff described a runoff issue at the 9th Avenue/9th Street intersection, council authorized a repair estimated at $5,500 and approved a motion to proceed not to exceed $6,000 to be paid from the stormwater fund, which was reported to have over $140,000 available.
Other housekeeping: Council authorized removal of a street pole at 12th Avenue and 9th Street (resolution 4253527) to permit sidewalk work; it also set multiple code‑amendment public hearings for May 13 (resolutions 4253529–4253532) and set a public hearing for the full budget adoption on April 23 (resolution 4253533). The consent agenda (minutes, claims, personnel action, and license items) was approved at the start of the meeting.
