Swisher council approves subdivision site plan, asbestos inspection, demolition contract and several appointments
Summary
At its July 22 meeting the council approved Resolution 48 (Swisher 60 subdivision site plan and plat), Resolution 49 (asbestos inspection proposal), Resolution 50 (Midwest Demo Contractors demolition/gravel parking), Resolution 51 (committee appointments) and Resolution 52 (a 28P storage agreement with EMS and the fire department). The council also authorized the fiscal-year debt report submission.
The Swisher City Council on July 22 approved a series of routine but substantive items affecting downtown property, public safety and staffing.
Resolution 48 approved the site plan and updated final plat for the Swisher 60 subdivision in Johnson County; council took a roll call vote and the motion carried. The council then approved Resolution 49, accepting a proposal for an asbestos inspection and report on two downtown-market garages and authorized moving forward with the work.
Resolution 50 awarded $16,400 to Midwest Demo Contractors for demolition and construction of gravel parking in the downtown targeted project area; staff noted the council could accept the proposal and set demolition dates once board-of-adjustment matters are resolved. The council approved Resolution 51 appointing Lindsay Soka, Karen (last name not specified in the transcript) and Craig Bondarack to the Swisher committee/board of trustees and discussed staggering terms so appointments expire in different years.
Council also approved Resolution 52, a five-year 28P agreement allowing Johnson County EMS and the fire department to move nonresponse equipment (an EMS trailer, an antique fire truck and other storage) into the garage behind City Hall; the agreement includes a 90-day early-termination clause and clarifies insurance responsibilities (the city covering the building and partners covering contents).
Separately, the council authorized the clerk to submit the city’s fiscal-year 2024 debt-obligation report to the Iowa state treasurer’s office, a routine annual filing. Where votes were recorded, the transcript indicates ayes carried for each measure.
