Atlantic Mayor Dave Jones will have the honor, this (Wednesday) evening, of swearing-in a new Police Officer.

The event takes place just after 5:30-p.m., during the Atlantic City Council meeting, and is with regard to Jeremy Seufert. He joined the Atlantic Police Force after the Department was down one officer due to a member having joined the Cass County Sheriff’s Office, and Chief Dave Erickson began to look for a person to fill the spot. Seufert grew up in Atlantic. He’s a veteran of the armed forces and has a wife, Melissa. The couple has three kids, and live in Atlantic.

In other business, the Council will receive a presentation from a local auditing firm, with regard to the FY 2017 City of Atlantic Audit, which is conducted annually. City Administrator John Lund says “The results were good. Money is where it is supposed to be, ongoing practices shall continue as they always have to sustain the City as an organization and remain financially solvent.”

The Council will also act on an Order to close 6th Street, from Chestnut Street, west to the east side of the alley between Chestnut and Poplar, every Thursday evening from 4-until 7, for “Produce in the Park,” that begins May 31st and concludes Sept. 27th. The Council is also expected to act on passing a Resolution that approves the contracts and bonds with Carly Construction, for the 2018 Street Improvement Project.

They’ll also act on passing a Resolution “Approving [a] Bond Purchase Agreement, Providing for the Issuance of General Obligation Corporate Purpose Bonds, Series 2018 and Providing for the Levy of Taxes to Pay the Same.” Action is needed on the matter as the City proceeds to borrow $2.68-million from the open market, with the promise to repay it over 20-years, through property taxes. And, the Atlantic City Council will hold the second reading of an ordinance that would essentially remove the north/south stop signs at 6th and Sunnyside Lane, in an effort to improve traffic flow, and considering the amount of traffic expected to be generated by the ethanol plant currently under construction.
