The Atlantic City Council will meet in a regular session 5:30-p.m. Wednesday, in the Chambers at City Hall. First-up on their agenda, is recognition of Atlantic’s State Archery Team. The High School and Middle School teams both qualified for the State Archery Tournament, with the High School team qualifying both a bullseye and 3D team, and Middle School team qualified for Bullseye.

The H.S Team finished the 3D tournament in 15th place, and 11th out of 31 teams in the Bullseye Tournament. The Middle School team was 19th out of 30 teams, and out of 350 middle school girls competing, Halle Copeland was second. The Washington Middle School team took the title with a team score of 3,278.

Atlantic Mayor Dave Jones will also read a Proclamation, and the Council will recognize Brandon Baier, of Atlantic, for his achievements in the World Special Olympics Competition held in Abu Dhabi, the United Arab Emirates. Brandon was one of two Iowans selected to be a part of the U-S delegation to the 2019 Special Olympics Games, where he won a bronze medal in the throws, finished fourth in the 4×400 Meter Relay, and had a fifth place finish in the 100 Meter Relay.

In other business, the Council will consider bids to purchase the Atlantic Senior Center. The bids were accepted until Monday and will remain sealed until the Council meeting. At that time, the Council may review the bid(s), discuss and move to sell the building, or retain ownership of it. They could also refer the matter to Committee, or accept a bid (if more than one), and direct the City Attorney and Administrator to draft language of the sale, noting conditions the Council may wish to impose.

The Council will also act on a Resolution “Adopting a Policy for the Disposition of City-owned Properties,” along with a Resolution “Authorizing bids for 2019 Palm Street Improvements,” and an Order to approve a change order for the 2018 Street Improvement Project with regard to the area of 6th and Laurel Streets. And, the Council is expected to approve a five-year Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) with AFSCME Council 61, for the City’s seven full-time and one part-time employees. The Council will also act on an Order approving a CBA with the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 234.  The Union represents six City Employees with the Street Dept., and four at the Wastewater Treatment Plant.

The final order of business for the Atlantic City Council, aside from regular reports, is the appointment of Teresa Richard and Vicki Brown, to the Planning and Zoning Commission.
