(Atlantic, Iowa) – The Atlantic City Council will act on approving a number of matters during their meeting 5:30-p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 2nd. at City Hall. The first is an Order to Approve [a] Sub-recipient Agreement for [a] Federally Funded Project related to the Food Pantry’s CDBG-CV (Covid relief) grant application. The agreement secures the City’s role as a “fiscal agent,” (pass-through funding agency) for the federal grant dollars, as well as the responsibility for filing the required reports, etc.

The Council will then act on approving an Order to Approve [an] Administrative Agreement for the aforementioned project, and on a Resolution approving the adoption of IEDA (Iowa Economic Development Authority) “duplication of benefits, policies and procedures,” which are designed to ensure the City and Food Pantry are not “Double-dipping” into multiple programs for the same project. SWIPCO will be the oversight agency to ensure procedures are followed correctly.

In other business, the City Council is expected to approve the job description and FY 2022 compensation, along with authorizing the posting for, the Sunnyside Pool Manager’s position. The proposed compensation is $14 per hour ($4,200 per year). The City’s Personnel & Finance Committee met on Jan. 20th and have recommended the job description & compensation proposal be adopted and the position posted.
