Coggon schedules April hearings, directs solid‑waste RFP and hires backup clerk
Summary
The council set April public hearings for the FY27 property tax rate and FY26 Budget Amendment #3, directed staff to issue an RFP for solid waste services (proposals due May 13), and approved hiring Miranda Koch as a backup city clerk to cover PTO.
At the March 10 Coggon City Council meeting, members set dates for upcoming public hearings, instructed staff to solicit proposals for solid waste services that may include recycling, and approved temporary staffing to cover city clerk paid time off.
Council agreed to hold the public hearing for FY26 Budget Amendment #3 and the April public hearing on the FY27 proposed property tax rate on April 15 at 6:30 p.m. The motion to set the hearing date was made by Jeff Harbaugh and seconded by Brian Rowe and was recorded as 'All ayes' with one member absent.
In new business, the council moved (Angie Faust, Jeremy Faust) to hire Miranda Koch as a backup city clerk to cover PTO; the motion passed. A visitor, Luke Hennessey, raised questions about what the city seeks for solid waste services, including whether curbside recycling should be reinstated. The council directed staff to issue an RFP following the April meeting with proposals due May 13.
Council also voted to change its regular meeting nights to the second Wednesday of each month, except April which will be held on the third Wednesday to accommodate the hearings. No details about RFP scope, vendor qualifications, recycling cost estimates, or the duration of Miranda Koch’s appointment were recorded in the minutes.
