The Atlantic City Council will hold a regularly scheduled session 5:30-p.m. Wednesday, in their Chambers at City Hall. On the agenda is:

• Action on an order to close certain streets for the Oct. 13th 2018 Atlantic Fireman’s Parade, beginning at 4-p.m. Parade participants will line-up along W. 2nd Street and proceed south on Chestnut to 6th Street before turning east on 6th, and then north on Walnut Street.
• A request to close certain streets for a private auction Nov. 3rd, beginning at 10-a.m. The auction will be held at 310 Pine, and Patricia Swanson, who is making the request, suggests the City close Pine Street from the alley to the intersection west of Pine Street. The neighbors, according to Swanson, would still have access to their property. City Administrator John Lund will recommend the Council consult with Police Chief Dave Erickson with regard to a closure of a street for private events, which has typically not occurred in Atlantic.
• Atlantic Mayor Dave Jones is expected to announce Wednesday, that Halloween will take place Wed., Oct. 31st, from 5:30-until 7:30-p.m.
• The City Council will act on the third and final reading of an amended ordinance pertaining to traffic code enforcement, with regard to parking violations. The ordinance calls for a $30 fine for regular parking violations, $50 for snow emergency parking violations, and $100 for a handicapped parking violation.
• The Council will also act on the second reading of an amended ordinance pertaining to Zoning, and fencing regulations. The ordinance proposes allowing fences up to 12-feet tall with barbed wire, in Heavy Industrial Zones, and fences higher than the current 6-foot limit in Light Industrial and all Commercial zones.
• The Council will act on approving an agreement with Tallgrass Archeology, LLC. from Iowa City, for a Reconnaissance Survey and completion of Iowa Site Inventory forms for the City of Atlantic Downtown Revitalization Project. SWIPCO received four competitive proposals for the assessment project, with Tallgrass scoring highest on the search criteria. Tallgrass’ quote for the survey  and site inventory amounts to $22,500, but the City had budgeted $20,000 for the work, meaning 16 individual site inventory’s can be completed for that price, depending upon the number of building owners who agree to participate in the CDBG application.

In other business, the Council will consider, but is not expected to act on, a speed limit for the south side of Sunnyside Lane. Action on that is expected to take place during their meeting on Oct. 3rd. And, they’ll likely act on approving the contracts and bonds for the 2018 Bull Creek Tunnel Improvements Project.
