Summary
At its July 20 meeting the Waverly City Council approved multiple resolutions and ordinance readings, including plans for the boat ramp (Resolution 26-151), a trails grant application (26-154), the City Hall parking lot low bid ($49,526, Resolution 26-155), acceptance of Stone Meadows infrastructure (26-156), the second reading of an ordinance on dangerous-animal definitions (Ordinance 11-80), and the first reading of traffic-code amendments (Ordinance 11-81).
The Waverly City Council on July 20 took several formal actions across consent and regular business items.
Key approvals and procedural steps taken by the council included:
- Resolution 26-151: Approved plans, specifications, form of contract and estimated cost for the replacement of the Waverly Utilities boat ramp and parking lot improvements. The resolution was moved and approved following a public hearing during which no oral or written comments were recorded.
- Resolution 26-154: Re-approved language for a State Recreational Trails Program grant application for the Waverly Rail Trail interurban and Ivanhoe bridge replacement project to match specific language requested by the funding agency; staff said the change should not delay the project.
- Resolution 26-155: Approved the low bid for the City Hall parking lot from Baker Enterprises Inc. of Waverly, Iowa, in the amount of $49,526. Council discussion noted this covers two portions of the parking lot and spans fiscal years.
- Resolution 26-156: Accepted the public infrastructure for the Stone Meadows addition in the Stone Meadows subdivision; the council approved acceptance on roll call.
- Ordinance 11-80 (second reading): The council approved the second reading of an ordinance amending the Waverly Municipal Code definition of "dangerous animal." The roll call for the second reading recorded affirmative votes by members present.
- Ordinance 11-81 (first reading): The council conducted the first reading of amendments to sections of the traffic code (chapter 105) related to certain streets in a new subdivision; staff confirmed the streets are in the Stone Meadows area. First reading was approved to move the ordinance forward.
- Other actions: The council approved a proclamation recognizing National Night Out on Aug. 4, 2026; approved the consent calendar; and approved the cancellation of the July 27 study session because of a lack of agenda items.
Where roll-call votes were recorded in the transcript, the council members present voted in the affirmative; the transcript does not record dissenting votes on these items.
