(Atlantic, IA) – Atlantic Mayor Rob Clausen, Wednesday evening (March 11), issued the Oath of Office to Atlantic’s new City Clerk, Jackie Carl. Here’s a portion of that Oath….

As previously mentioned, Jackie Carl has 21-years of City Clerk experience, having served Moville from 2005-to 2016, and Carter Lake from 2016-to 2026. Last month she accepted a conditional offer of employment, with a FY 2026 salary of $80,000. She will also be credited with 40-hours of vacation time upon hire. Jackie Carl succeeds Laura McLane, who resigned to move with her husband to eastern Iowa. Rich Tupper has been serving as the Acting City Clerk while the full-time position was vacant.

In other business, the Atlantic City Council, during their regular meeting, approved a pay application in the amount of $48,130 to TK Concrete, for the West 22^nd Street Improvement Project.

The City Council awarded the West 22nd Street Improvements Project contract to TK Concrete
Bluff’s for $1,421,207.75. There have been no change orders to the project, so the original
contract price of $1,421,207.75 remains the total amount to be paid to TK Concrete.
This pay application of $48,130.00 will bring the total amount paid for the project to
$1,110,957.75, leaving $262,120.00 to be paid to TK Concrete to complete the contract.

City Engineer Dave Sturm updated the status of the project.

He said they’re expecting to wrap-up the work sometime in April. The Council passed a Resolution “Establishing Signatories to City Checks and Payables.” The official signatories include:

Mayor Rob Clausen

City Administrator John Lund

City Clerk Jackie Carl

Deputy City Clerk Rich Tupper, and
