At its April 20 meeting the Burlington City Council approved a series of routine and project items by recorded vote.
Consent agenda: The council approved minutes, payroll, beer/liquor/wine/cigarette permits, reports and bonds, and five consent resolutions covering nuisance abatements; a training agreement; a Traffic Safety Improvement Program (TSIP) funding agreement with the Iowa Department of Transportation for the Division Street and West Burlington Avenue roundabout project; audit services with Anderson Larkin and Company PC for FY2026–2030; and an interlocal agreement with Des Moines County for a 2025 Byrne Justice Assistance Grant (JAG). The full consent package passed on a single motion and unanimous vote.
Key project approvals: • Domland Street Sewer Project: Staff recommended awarding the storm‑sewer contract to low bidder Four Seasons Inc. at $84,440; council approved the award. • Equalization Tank Controls: Council approved a professional services agreement with HR Green to design equalization tank control improvements linking tanks to the wastewater plant SCADA system to improve operations during high flows. • Rear‑load garbage truck: Council authorized staff to purchase a 2026 rear‑load garbage truck (budgeted for FY27); staff anticipated a purchase price in the roughly $270,000 range and will finalize vendor selection after a demo.
Other approved items included engineering and capital project authorizations discussed in the meeting packet; recorded votes for these items show Weiss, Wilson, Phillips, Kreitzer and Scott voting in the affirmative on the listed resolutions.
