This is the final meeting of Fiscal Year 2020-2021 for the Muscatine City Council with a rather light agenda. The meeting will include the reading of proclamation by Mayor Diana Broderson declaring June 2021 as LGBTQ Pride Month in Muscatine.
Also on the agenda is the first reading of an ordinance updating the regulations concerning nuisance vehicles contained in Chapter 3, Title 9 of the Muscatine City Code. This is part of a continuing effort to improve City Code with the intent of making the Code easier to understand and enforce. The intent of this update is not to radically change how nuisance vehicles are regulated, but rather to improve on the current approach.
The Council will also be asked to approve a contract to demolish a structure at 1246 East 5th Street, the renewal of the City’s insurance policy, a contract for the design of the East Hill Fire Station, and a contract extension for the Landfill operator.
While public access to the Council Chambers is permitted for the first time since March 2020, those wanting to watch or participate in the meeting but not attend in person can attend through the virtual GoToMeeting portal. Information on joining the session and how to make a comment during the meeting is listed below.
