Sigourney’s City Council held its meeting Wednesday night.
After approving the consent agenda, council set November 6 as the public hearing date to have a discussion and possible approval for the sale and possible disposal of land currently owned by the city of Sigourney. The land is 0.57 acres.
Sigourney’s City Council approved a resolution for KEECF Grant Projects. One of the projects is a sign that shows a digital reading of how fast a vehicle is traveling. The sign would be the second of its kind in Sigourney.
The city council will meet with Phase I building owners to discuss adverse effects of a project. The owners are located on the south side of the Sigourney square and their facades were damaged during a construction project. Councilman Gary Iosbaker says the business owners will be approached to see if there is a discussion to be had. He continued:
“This will be an exploratory conversation. No commitments will be made.”
Executive Director Gary Iosbaker gave a Keokuk County Economic Development update. Ladies’ Night is Thursday night and the public is invited. Iosbaker also said finishing touches are being made for the $10,000 Raffle on November 8. Iosbaker emphasized this year’s event will be held in Hedrick at the Carl Craft Civic Center. There will be a bus that will be able to take guests to and from Hedrick.
