At its meeting, the Peosta City Council approved several routine resolutions and accepted the police chief's hiring recommendation.
Tax abatement: Council passed a resolution requesting abatement of accrued property taxes and exemption from future property taxes for land conveyed to the city for public use (parcels in Thunder Valley Estates were cited). The resolution was moved, seconded and carried.
Pay application: Council approved resolution 20260 (pay estimate number one) to authorize payment to Restoration for work on the Kelly's Park Pavilion project after architect review and staff sign-off.
Appointment: Council adopted a resolution appointing Greg (transcribed variably as "Greg Nay" / "Greg Bank") to the Peosta Zoning Board of Adjustments; council noted the appointee's willingness to serve.
Police hiring: The council also moved to accept the police chief's recommendation to hire a lateral candidate from the Dubuque County sheriff's office. The candidate recited the oath in open session: "I, Kobe Heming, do solemnly swear to support the Constitution of the United States, the Constitution of the State of Iowa..." The council congratulated the new officer and recorded the hire as accepted. The motion to accept the chief's recommendation was seconded and carried.
