The Indianola City Council met in a special study session in their final meeting of 2020 last week, discussing city procedures and looking ahead to budget planning for 2021. City Manager Ryan Waller tells KNIA News one of the ways the council is prepared to look forward is the Pavement Indexing Project. Waller said the project has been spread out over a long time, and is now providing the council with detailed data on city roads and repair.
“We know the data now, we know what roads are good, what roads are bad, and what roads are fair. We wanted to get some direction from council on what the city would like to pursue in order to maintain our infrastructure but at a fraction of the cost.”
The Indianola City Council met in regular session Monday, the last regularly scheduled meeting of 2020. The council elected to not back charge residents for a sewer billing rate by IMU, approved appointments to the Des Moines Metropolitan Planning Organization, Central Iowa Regional Transportation Planning Alliance, Indianola Fine Arts Commission, and Indianola Parks and Rec Commission, the adoption of the Master Trail Plan, and a petition for the title of 1009 E Salem Ave, before entering closed session to discuss litigation.
The board also held a study session regarding Statewide Urban Design and Specifications, an update on the Pavement Indexing Project, and budget processes for FY2022.
