Atlantic City Council meeting preview (for 12/16/20)

News

December 13th, 2020 by Ric Hanson

The Atlantic City Council will meet in-person Wednesday at 5:30-p.m.  The meeting will be held in the Council’s Chambers at City Hall. (There is no Zoom option – updated 12/16).

On their agenda is an Order to Appoint Katherine Smith to the AMU Utility Board of Trustees. Once approved, Smith will succeed Joyce Jensen, who has resigned. She will fill the remainder of Jensen’s term through April 1st, 2023. The Council will also act on approving “A Revolving Forgivable Loan Program (RFLP)with SHIFT ATL and providing for an Appropriation.”

The City Council adopted a Resolution during their meeting on Sept. 18th, in support of a proposed partnership with SHIFT ATL for housing rehabilitation. City Administrator John Lund says the resolution offered general endorsement of the partnership in addition to financial support, but the Council felt that a specific monetary commitment to the non-profit organization was not yet in either party’s best interest, and that further discussion would be held. Lund says the Personnel and Finance Committee met Dec, 9th to review a detailed proposal for housing rehabilitation with representatives from SHIFT ATL. Several possibilities were considered. The proposal supported by the Committee is for the City to establish a Non-Profit Housing Rehab Loa Fund, which would be financed through three potential resource pools: A Tax Increment Finance (TIF) Low-to-Moderate Income (LMI) Fund; LOST (Local Option Sales Tax) Fund; or an Economic Development Revolving Loan Fund.

The exact amount of support is either not yet known or being disclosed at this time, as there is a real estate offer pending, and Lund says “It is not in the interest of the City to disclose precise figures at this time. Lund says the housing rehab project would offer multiple benefits to the City, and is recommending the Council approve the RFLP. In other business, the Atlantic City Council will:

  • Consider matters tabled during their last meeting, with regard to Tree Trimmer licenses for Cook Sanitation and Top Hand Tree Service
  • Hold the First Reading of an Ordinance “Amending the Code of Ordinances of the City of Atlantic, by amending Chapter 106 entitled “Collection of Solid Waste.”
  • and, act on an Order to approve a Change Order for the Atlantic Golf & Country Club Fairway Drainage Project.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Spencer Petras threw for 211 yards and two touchdowns to Ihmir Smith-Marsette to lead No. 19 Iowa past No. 25 Wisconsin 28-7. It was the Hawkeyes’ sixth win in a row.

Two snowplows collided in Red Oak – no injuries reported

News

December 12th, 2020 by Ric Hanson

Red Oak Police say no injuries were reported following a collision between two snowplows Saturday morning. The accident happened at around 7:20-a.m. on Highway 34. One of the plows, a 2013 International driven by 47-year old Vince Edward Abraham, of Villisca, was clearing snow from the intersection of Highway 34 and Old Highway 34/200th Street. The plow was on the north side of the intersection. The second plow, a 2009 International driven by 32-year old Jacob Matthew Jackson, also of Villisca, was on Old Highway 34 and crossing the intersection from the south to the north. As he approached the first plow, Abraham began to back up and struck Jackson’s vehicle on the side.

Damage to the plows was estimated at $5,000 each, with most of the damage done to a salt spreader attachment, which was included in the damage estimate. No citations were issued.
