Peosta — At its regular meeting the Peosta City Council approved a package of administrative resolutions and ordinances, including adoption of a zoning amendment, several budget and personnel measures, and a final acceptance of a park trail project.

- Approving a package of FY25 year-end budgetary transfers. Council approved a verbal amendment to add roughly $9,000 related to the Kelly Oaks Trail final payout so a franchise-fee fund would not go negative.
