The Atlantic City Council is scheduled to hold a regular meeting 5:30-p.m. Wednesday, in the Chambers at City Hall. Among the action items on their agenda, is:

• An Order to refer a proposal to vacate an obsolete Right-Of-Way (ROW) on E. 9th Street, to the Planning and Zoning Commission. The Commission would be tasked with further reviewing the proposal and forwarding its recommendation to the City Council for action at subsequent meetings, to include a public hearing and three readings of an ordinance.
• The Council, Wednesday, will also act to approve an Amended City Attorney Retainer Agreement with Otto, Lorence & Wiederstein, P.L.L.C, for the services of Blake Miller. Miller, who currently works with a law firm out of Harlan, would replace Audubon County Attorney Sarah Jennings, who also served as the Assistant City Attorney for the City of Atlantic. It was announced last month that Jennings resigned her position in Audubon County, and has left the region to be closer to her family.
• The Council will hold the second reading of an Ordinance Vacating a City ROW between Hemlock & Sycamore Streets, south of E. 18th Street, to include “Phantom” alley.
• And, the Atlantic City Council will act on the first reading of an ordinance that amends the Code of Ordinances, with regard to “Stop Required” at the intersection of 22nd & Olive Streets. The City’s Community Protection Committee (CPC) has unanimously recommended the current two-way stop at the intersection be expanded to four-way, and they recommend making the intersection of 32nd Street and Chestnut be converted to a three-way stop, to slow down the traffic flow in that area.

In other business, the Council will act on passing a Resolution adopting a policy on limiting street closures for certain events. The CPC recommends approval of the Resolution the says street closure request shall be granted no more than twice per year, per individual or business, and that such closures be made for “a good cause.” Events sponsored directly by the City or through the Atlantic Chamber of Commerce, would be exempt from the requirement.

And, the Council is expected to act on orders accepting the Tax Sale Certificate for 301 Maple and 101 Cedar Streets, in addition to a Change Order for the Downtown Revitalization Project, the latter of which adds $19,613 to the project, but still keeps it within the overall scope of the project cost. In his report to the Council, City Administrator John Lund will discuss the Standard & Poor’s Rating on the City Of Atlantic’s Wastewater Treatment Plant Debt.
