Sheldon, Iowa — The Sheldon City Council will meet in regular session at 4:30 p.m. this Wednesday afternoon in the council chambers at the Sheldon Community Services Center across 9th Street from KIWA Radio.
On their consent agenda, are minutes from the previous meeting, the list of claims, financial reports, the approval of a fire applicant, and a resolution approving a banking services agreement with Peoples Bank. All the items will be voted on via one motion unless a council member asks to vote on an issue separately.
In new business, the council will discuss the 2024 PCC patching project. The original bids on the project were rejected on September 4. The new bid letting is scheduled for January 29th, if approved by the council. Plans and specifications also are up for approval at the meeting. The project is on East 2nd Street, west of Country Club Road.
The council will also consider the public recycling container at De Kruif Disposal. People sometimes put items on the ground and sometimes put garbage in the container. Plus, Mark Gurtler of De Kruif says that sometimes businesses use the container when it is intended for residential use only. De Kruif is seeking to raise the rate of dumping the container to $100 per time, increasing the city’s share from $37.50 to $50. Moving the container back to the City lot near the library is NOT off the table, according to Sheldon City Manager Sam Kooiker.
The council will also view a presentation from the Sheldon High School CAPS team (that’s Center for Advanced Professional Studies), and will consider a request to change the minimum assessment for a lot in the Sunshine Addition.
One of the reports they will hear is from Children’s World.
The council may also go into closed session to discuss employment conditions.
The meeting starts at 4:30 p.m. in the council chambers and is available on YouTube.
