(Atlantic, Iowa) – The first November meeting of the Atlantic City Council is set to take place 5:30-p.m. Wed., Nov. 5th, in the Council’s Chambers inside the Atlantic City Hall. On their agenda is a Public Hearing on the Transfer and Sale of 3032 Birch Street, a property owned by the City. City Administrator John Lund says Randy C. Clark has submitted a bid for the property in the assessed amount of $5,600. No other bids have been received to-date. Clark has taken care of the property by mowing it since it was acquired by the City. Following the public hearing, the Council will move to adopt a Resolution executing the sale of the property.

In other business, the Atlantic City Council will act on passing a Resolution “Authorizing Adoption of Amended and Restated Policies and Procedures regarding Municipal Securities Disclosure,” which the City’s Finance Attorney says needed to be updated to reflect laws that were changed in 2019, pertaining to Municipal Bonds.

The Council will also act to pass a Resolution “Assessing Unpaid Fees and Costs to Property Taxes,” with regard to billing for the cleanup of nuisance properties with garbage, junk, tall grass and weeds. The City will formally charge costs relating to the abatement of such nuisances in the same manner as assessed property, if fines and/or cleanup costs are not paid by the property owner after being informed of their responsibility to take care of their property.

City Administrator John Lund will discuss a request by the Atlantic Bottling Company to eliminate all parking on the east side of their plant at 2nd and Walnut, to make semi traffic safer and more efficient. The request includes removal of 11 parking stalls currently in existence on the east side of Walnut Street, north of 2nd.
