[CORRECTION TO MEETING TIME: 5:30PM….NOT 4-P.M.; ERROR ON THE AGENDA!]

(Atlantic, Iowa) – The City Council in Atlantic will meet Wednesday, beginning at 4-p.m., in their Council Chambers, at City Hall. On their agenda is approval of a permit request to close certain streets for the Lighted Christmas Parade on December 2nd. Line-up for the Parade begins at 5-p.m., at 6th and Walnut Streets. The parade gets underway at 6-p.m.

The Council will also discuss and act on an Order to approve termination of tenancy at 11 Locust Street, in Atlantic. City Administrator John Lund notes the City entered into a lease agreement with Dick Cook (dba as Cook Hauling & Tree Service), for the property, on Dec. 21,2010. Since then, he says, the City has had to go through legal counsel to obtain the delinquent rent which to date, amounts to $3,219.39. In addition, Code Enforcement records show the City began receiving complaints about garbage/junk on the property since Aug. 17, 2019. The complaint said the accumulated junk produces an odor. Since the City is pursuing a formal eviction of the tenant at 11 Locust Street, the City Attorney says formal action is required by the Council to proceed further within the legal system.

In other business, the Atlantic City Council will act on an Order to approve the 2023 Street Finance Report (as required under the Code of Iowa), and the second reading of an Amended Ordinance regarding a section pertaining to the duties of the City Administrator.
