City attorney: keeping Flock contract would require policy change; council to act Feb. 24
Summary
City Attorney Kevin Olson said he spoke with the Iowa Attorney General and that retaining the city's contract with Flock would require removing part of an existing policy; the council was told to take action at its Feb. 24 meeting.
City Attorney Kevin Olson told the Coralville City Council during its Feb. 10 work session that he had spoken with the Iowa Attorney General and that if Coralville wants to retain its contract with Flock, "a part of the policy will need to be removed." Olson said the alternative would be ending the contract.
"If the City would like to retain the contract with Flock, a part of the policy will need to be removed," Olson said. He told the council the matter should be considered at the Feb. 24 City Council meeting.
Mayor Laurie Goodrich noted that the council had indicated its preference during the regular meeting and thanked Olson for his work on the policy and his inquiry to the Attorney General.
The work session record does not show a formal vote or motion on the contract; Olson presented options and set a Feb. 24 meeting date for council action. The record also does not identify which specific policy language the Attorney General flagged or what specific edits would be required; that detail was not provided during the work session.
Next steps on the record are a council agenda item on Feb. 24 and any subsequent formal action the council takes at that meeting.
