Hudson council approves bridge contract, adopts speed-ordinance and notes council vacancy; citizen raises yard-waste concerns
Summary
Council awarded the Butterfield Road bridge contract to Iowa Bridge and Colbert LLC, adopted an amendment to speed regulations, accepted several resolution items, noted the resignation of Marcus Bowman, and heard an emailed complaint about yard-waste pickup service.
The Hudson City Council moved through a packed agenda, approving several resolutions and announcements including awarding a bridge replacement contract, adopting a code amendment on speed regulations, and acknowledging a council vacancy.
Chair (S3) announced that council member Marcus Bowman has moved out of city limits and submitted his resignation effective that day; staff explained the council has 60 days to fill the vacancy by appointment before a special election would be triggered. "He recently moved out of city limits, so, he has turned in his resignation as council member, effective today," Chair (S3) said.
The council read a public comment submitted by email from Betty Rusek of 103 Walnut Street, who wrote that she has lived in Hudson since 1994 and said, "My major concern is, losing yard waste pickup," asking the council to consider the service when making decisions related to Baja Waste.
On the consent and resolution calendar the council approved multiple items by motion, including Resolution 34-71 awarding the Butterfield Road bridge replacement project contract to Iowa Bridge and Colbert LLC following bids that staff said came in roughly $83,000 under the engineer’s estimate and with a low bid around $424,000.
The council also moved forward with Resolution 34-65 through 34-72 (various contracts and routine items), and later conducted the third reading and adopted Ordinance 09:30 amending the city code’s speed regulations by motion.
The meeting closed with reminders about upcoming committee meetings and the next council meeting on July 27 at 6 p.m., and the council then adjourned.
