**Please note: The traditional entrance to the Council Chamber doors will not be open as the Bull Creek Project Display from the Iowa State University Design and Engineering students is in the audience area, and there is no way to move around it. The main lobby doors and the front doors to the office where you go to pay bills or visit an Administrative or elected official will be open. If anyone is unsure how to get back to the Council Chambers (don’t be embarrassed, it is a bit of a maze, this part of the building used to be an old jail), there will be personnel available to help you. – City Administrator John Lund.

(Atlantic, Iowa) – The City of Atlantic’s Board of Adjustment will meet 5:30-p.m. Monday (May 12th), in the Council’s Chambers at the City Hall.
