Maquoketa City Council adopts FY2026-27 budget, OKs local grants and utility agreement changes
Summary
The Maquoketa City Council adopted the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 City Budget and CIP and approved downtown façade and interior grants, an amended City Hall agreement with the municipal utility, a street-light purchase and set a public hearing on a budget amendment.
On April 20, the Maquoketa City Council approved Resolution No. 2026-52 adopting the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 City Budget and Capital Improvement Plan for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027. The motion carried 6-0 after a public hearing that produced no written comments.
The council also approved several smaller local actions: Resolution No. 2026-54 authorized a $15,000 downtown façade grant to Chatden at 119 S Main St; Resolution No. 2026-55 authorized a $9,853.27 commercial interior grant to Patricia Davanzo, payable upon verification of completed work and final qualified costs. The council approved Resolution No. 2026-56 to amend the Master Agreement between Maquoketa Municipal Electric Utility (MMEU) and Maquoketa City for City Hall space and costs; City Manager Joshua Boldt said the amendment updates insurance coverage language and removes the folder-stuffer machine costs from the agreement.
Council authorized an order of five street light poles from Wesco for $11,945 for portions of the utility project on Erie, Eddy Place and South Niagara. Boldt said work on that utility project will begin in the next couple of weeks and that staff will hold monthly meetings to keep residents informed. Boldt also noted that Representative Miller-Meeks approved some funding for a future project on East Grove Street.
The council set a public hearing for a budget amendment (Resolution No. 2026-53) for May 4; the transcript lists the year as 2025, which appears to be a clerical error; the council recorded the hearing date as May 4 and staff should confirm the correct year for the published notice. The council adjourned at 6:57 p.m.
