The Carroll City Council will be holding their next regular meeting on Monday, Feb. 13, beginning at 5:15 p.m. in the second-floor council chambers at City Hall. Carroll City Manager, Mike Pogge-Weaver, says the meeting is important to the citizens of Carroll as OPN will be present for a work session on the Library/City Hall project and the council will be reviewing a request from the Carroll County Board of Supervisors to change the text in the zoning regulations regarding an agriculture preserve overlay impacting the sale of the Mallard View property on north Mahogany Ave. The city is being asked to consider changing the zoning language to allow them to transfer the building and roughly five acres for use as a dementia/memory care facility, which Pogge-Weaver says is a two-pronged request.
The second part of the request deals with ensuring that any catastrophic occurrences will be suitably covered.
Another item the council will be discussing is an increase to the city’s water rates.
Other agenda items include consideration of replacement of the air handling and air conditioning unit at the Carroll County Historical Building, setting a public hearing for the fiscal year 2018 budget and some bonding of projects including entryway signage and trail improvements. The council will also be asked to review and accept an Iowa Department of Transportation Urban-State Traffic Engineering Program (U-STEP) agreement that would fund Highway 30 and Grant Road improvements at a ratio of 55 percent from the Iowa DOT and 45 percent from the city up to a maximum of $400,000.
