A regular meeting of the Atlantic City Council will be held 5:30-p.m. Wednesday (March 20), at City Hall. On their agenda is recognition of the Atlantic High School State Speech and State Wrestling teams.

The Council will also act on an Order accepting an amendment for the Community Attraction and Tourism (CAT) Grant, a Resolution for which was approved in July 2017, and is between the State of Iowa’s Enhance Iowa Board and City Council. The Grant for  $175,000 is for ongoing park development at the Schildberg Recreation Area and Campground. The agreement requires all grant purchases be completed by April 31, 2019. Work still remains on the project that should be complete before the end of the Summer. Former Parks and Rec Director Seth Staashelm was able to obtain an extension from the Board to complete the project by no later that Nov. 30, 2019. The Council must formally amend the agreement at the request of the State.

There will also be a Public Hearing during the Council’s meeting, with regard to “Vacating and Conveying a portion of an alley east of 708 W. 10th Street, as part of efforts by the City to “Clean up the plat map,” according to City Administrator/Zoning Administrator John Lund, who recommends the Council approve the plan as proposed. The hearing will be followed by the first reading of an Ordinance to that effect.

The final order of business for the Council, prior to regular reports, is for them to approve the Mayor’s request to re-appointment: Joyce Jensen to the Board of Adjustment; Judd Meneely to the AMU Board, and Jennifer Miller to the Planning and Zoning Commission. The latter two have terms expiring April 1, 2019. Jensen’s term expired in February.
