Summary
On May 27 the Anamosa City Council adopted resolutions including a right-of-way vacation, a fiscal-year budget amendment, a scheduled joint City/County meeting, an appointment to the library board, an IEDA Workforce Housing Credit Program application by Forge, Inc., and several contractor selections for city projects.
During its May 27 meeting the Anamosa City Council approved a package of resolutions, appointments and contractor selections spanning right-of-way conveyance, a budget amendment, scheduling, board appointment, grant application authorization and capital contracts.
Key votes included unanimous approval of Resolution 2025-26 to vacate and convey the city right-of-way adjacent to the west of 105 West 5th Street and Resolution 2025-27 adopting a fiscal year 2025 budget amendment. The council also approved Resolution 2025-28 setting a joint City/County meeting for June 9, 2025 and changing the next regular council meeting to June 10, 2025.
Council approved Resolution 2025-29 appointing David Gregory to the Library Board of Trustees (term through June 30, 2028) and Resolution 2025-30 authorizing submission of an Iowa Economic Development Authority application to the Workforce Housing Credit Program on behalf of Forge, Inc.; the transcript does not include details of the proposed project or requested dollar amounts for that application.
On project contracting, the council selected Hintz Landscaping for replacement of the retaining wall at the Lawrence Community Center (Weimer abstained on that vote), approved Climate Engineers for a catwalk installation at the wastewater plant, and approved a contract with Martin Gardner Architecture, P.C. for phase 3 of the Downtown Revitalization Project. The transcript records votes and abstentions where applicable but does not provide contract pricing or schedules in the meeting record.
Mayor Rod Smith and council members also heard a presentation from Aaron Zumbach on Cultivate Anamosa and thanked the Anamosa Community Foundation for its work. A resident request for a special exception on fences by Mark Hoyer was made during public comment and will be considered at a later date.
