Maquoketa City Council approves spray pad plans, authorizes competitive bidding
Summary
At a three-minute special session June 3, the Maquoketa City Council unanimously adopted Resolution No. 2026-82 to approve spray pad plans, specifications and to authorize release for competitive bidding; the transcript does not specify the bid letting date.
The Maquoketa City Council on Wednesday unanimously approved Resolution No. 2026-82, adopting plans and authorizing competitive bidding for a new Maquoketa spray pad.
Appointed Chair Mark Lyon called the special session to order at 6:00 p.m. Four council members were present: Hayward, Rickerl, Lyon and Bennett; Collister, Kuhlman and Ehlinger were absent. Council member Bennett moved to approve the meeting agenda, Hayward seconded and the motion carried 4-0.
During the session Bennett moved, and Rickerl seconded, to approve Resolution No. 2026-82, titled “Resolution approving Maquoketa Spray Pad plans, specifications, bid letting date, and authorizing release for competitive bidding.” The council voted 4-0 to adopt the resolution, authorizing staff to release the plans and specifications for competitive bidding. The transcript records the authority to set a bid letting date but does not specify a calendar date for that letting.
Council member Rickerl then moved to adjourn, Bennett seconded, and the special session adjourned at 6:03 p.m. The minutes were attested by Joshua Boldt, City Manager.
What happens next: the resolution authorizes city staff to solicit competitive bids based on the adopted plans and specifications. The transcript does not record a timeline for the bid letting, a contract award, or construction schedule; those details will appear in future council records or staff reports if provided.
