Sac City Council approves consent agenda, vendor claims and several municipal actions
Summary
The Sac City City Council approved a consent agenda (itemized claims listed in the meeting packet), authorized tire hauling and disposal contracts, advanced three ordinances on first reading, and approved purchase of a 2021 Dodge Charger police car for $26,500 with loan terms up to three years at 4.9%. A citizen raised speeding concerns on Ahrens Street; no action was taken on a request for a second handicapped parking space.
The Sac City City Council on July 8 approved its consent agenda and a series of routine and procurement items, took first readings of three city ordinances and approved the purchase of a used police vehicle.
Council member Tom Lownik moved to approve the consent agenda; Teresa Bruening seconded. The consent agenda covered approval of the agenda and the June 24 minutes, consideration of a Sac County Fair Board noise permit for July 22–26, renewal of the Sac Country Club Class C retail alcohol license and listed claims. The meeting packet contained itemized vendor charges and fund-level allocations; the document shows a subtotal of $59,192.05 for listed vendors and a later total of $171,267.29 across multiple funds including general, utilities and capital projects.
The council approved two procurement actions related to tire disposal: a motion by Teresa Bruening (seconded by Larry Mahler) approved Wirtjers Trucking’s bid to haul old tires from a project site, and a subsequent motion by Bruening (seconded by Tom Lownik) approved Liberty Tires’ estimate to dispose of the hauled tires. Both motions passed on unanimous roll-call votes.
During citizen comment, resident Elina Leander Ozolins raised concerns about speeding on Ahrens Street. The council also heard the Sac Community Center’s annual report from Brandon Steiger; the transcript records the presentation but does not provide the report’s details.
Council approved the first readings of three ordinances: Ordinance No. 2025-335 (amending Chapter 68, Section 68.01, relating to one-way traffic), Ordinance No. 2025-336 (amending Chapter 69, Section 69.08, No Parking Zones) and Ordinance No. 2025-337 (amending Chapter 106, Collection of Solid Waste, Section 106.07(1)B(1) related to the tonnage charge). Each ordinance was introduced and advanced on a unanimous roll-call vote.
The council approved purchase of a 2021 Dodge Charger police vehicle from the City of Newell for $26,500 and authorized the city clerk to execute related documents and secure a loan from Iowa State Bank with terms not to exceed three years and 4.9% interest. The motion was made by Bob Murley and seconded by Larry Mahler and passed unanimously.
Council discussed a resident request to create a second handicapped parking spot near Faith Bible Church; council members noted the city already meets the required number of downtown handicapped spaces and raised safety concerns about vehicles backing onto Main Street. The council took no action on that request.
The meeting concluded after a council forum; Council member Bob Murley moved to adjourn and Larry Mahler seconded. The meeting adjourned at 6:06 p.m.
