Summary
At its Sept. 5 meeting, the Casey City Council adopted a water-revenue loan agreement for a 2024 water main improvement project, approved Ordinance #2024-03 updating the city code, authorized a Region 12 COG planning contract, and approved several financial reports and disclosures.
The Casey City Council on Sept. 5 approved a Water Revenue Loan and Disbursement Agreement to support the 2024 Water Main Improvement Project and adopted an updated City Code. The meeting took place at the Casey Community Building; Mayor Nicholas Lindberg presided.
Council opened a public hearing on the water-revenue loan at 7:03 p.m.; the mayor said no written objections had been filed. After the hearing was closed, the council adopted Resolution #2024-23 to move forward with entering into the Water Revenue Loan and Disbursement Agreement. The roll call vote on the resolution was yes from Councilmembers Bret Wedemeyer, Rick Richter, Leland Acker and Rick Blake; Councilmember Theresa Schiller was recorded as absent. The loan amount and contract terms were not specified in the meeting record.
The council also considered an update to the City Code of Ordinances.
