The Osceola City Council voted Sept. 17 to authorize submission of an application to the Iowa Department of Transportation’s Transportation Alternatives Set-Aside Program for the W. Clay Street Bicycle/Pedestrian Facilities project.
On a motion by Councilmember George Fotiadis with a second by Sonya Hicks the council approved Resolution 2024-37; the transcript records the roll-call result as Fotiadis, Bahls and Hicks voting "aye" and the motion carried. The transcript does not record the votes of the other council members for this motion.
The resolution states the city has commenced planning and design for the W. Clay Street project, that the DOT program provides funding for eligible local projects, and that by approving the resolution the city commits to securing required matching funds and to accept and maintain the improvements for a minimum of 20 years following completion. The mayor is authorized to sign the application and award agreement on behalf of the council.
Council did not specify in the meeting record the size of the matching requirement or the total project budget. The application will be prioritized and ranked by the Iowa DOT as part of its standard program process.
