Clinton council approves routine finance and project measures, postpones interim city administrator appointment
Summary
The council approved the sale of 121 North 4th Street, multiple bond and financing resolutions, appointments, consent agenda items and project payments; a proposed interim city administrator appointment was postponed 4–3 to the July 28 meeting pending candidate consent for a closed session.
The Clinton City Council used its regular meeting to clear a series of routine measures and discuss several ongoing projects.
Key formal actions included: approval of minutes from earlier meetings; adoption of a resolution to sell 121 North 4th Street to Jurgensen Hauling LLC for $2,000; approval of general obligation capital loan notes series 2026B (approximately $5,695,000, subject to adjustment) after finance staff reported competitive bid results; approval of a disbursement agreement and authorization to issue not‑to‑exceed $12,000,000 taxable GO capital loan notes series 2026A (to complete the regional wastewater facility costs tied to ADM); approval of a sewer‑use ordinance for first consideration establishing rates and surcharges for certain large industrial users; confirmation of mayoral appointments to boards and commissions; approval of payment request number 2 to Big River Maintenance Company for Eagle Pointe Park sidewalks; and approval of the consent agenda and claims lists.
Council members also debated a proposed interim city administrator appointment. Council member Lee moved to appoint Brian Lemke as interim city administrator by amending the posted resolution; after debate, a motion to postpone consideration and request a closed session next meeting passed 4–3. The item will return to the July 28 council meeting, and the clerk will solicit candidate consent to discuss the appointment in closed session per Iowa code.
The meeting adjourned with the next regular meeting set for 5PM on July 28, 2026.
