Olds updates code submission to SEIRPC; signage repainting bids tabled
Summary
City staff submitted proposed city code changes to SEIRPC on Oct. 31, 2024; council discussed next steps (public hearings and ordinance readings). Consideration of bids to repaint city signs was tabled while the clerk explores a metal sign option through Iowa Prison Industries.
The council was informed that all proposed city code changes were submitted to the Southeastern Iowa Regional Planning Commission (SEIRPC) on Oct. 31, 2024. The clerk told the council that, once SEIRPC provides updated drafts, the city will schedule public hearings and ordinance readings required to adopt the changes.
On city signage, the council tabled consideration of bids to repaint municipal signs to a future meeting. The clerk will check on ordering a metal City Hall sign through Iowa Prison Industries and will explore other options for repainting the highway City sign.
Why it matters: Submitting code changes to SEIRPC is an early step in the ordinance process; public hearings and readings are required before any code amendments could take effect. The council took no final action on signage and requested staff to return with options at a future meeting.
The council adjourned; the next regular meeting is scheduled for Dec. 11, 2024.
