The Atlantic City Council is scheduled to hold a regular meeting 5:30-p.m. Wednesday (Sept. 16), in their Chambers at City Hall. Action items on their agenda include:

• An Order to partially close the alley behind the Fireside Lounge on Sat., Sept. 26th, from 11-a.m. until Midnight, for a fundraiser to benefit Ryan Ward.
• The second reading of an Amended Ordinance pertaining to Sanitary Sewer System hook-up requirements and billing for those on a septic system.
• A Public Hearing on an Ordinance vacating a “Phantom,” Dead-end alley that does not connect to another street, located in Pellet’s Addition to the City of Atlantic.
• The first reading of an Ordinance Vacating the aforementioned “Phantom” alley.
• The Council will also act on approving the Street Finance Report for FY 2019-20, as required by Iowa Code for those cities receiving Road Use Tax funds.
• A Resolution approving the Transfer of Funds for the 1st Quarter of FY 2020-21, a routine process the City uses to transfer money between its 26 separate funds that makes the Budget work effectively, and, according to City Administrator John Lund, “reconciles accurate cost-accounting with the desire to create transparency on what is being spent in each of the line items in each fund.”
• The final action item for the Council is approving a Change Order with regard to the Downtown Facade Improvements Project, in the amount of $15,611, bringing the entire project total to $427,766, which, with several participants dropping out, still saves the City a substantial amount of money overall, according to Lund. The idea being to make the downtown improvements and bring increased property valuations over the long-term.
