Atlantic City Council to hold 1st reading of deer control ordinance Wednesday

News

April 3rd, 2012 by Ric Hanson

The first reading of an ordinance pertaining to “Urban Deer Control” will be held during a meeting of the Atlantic City Council, Wednesday evening. The Community Protection Committee (CPC) has discussed the matter with Iowa DNR officials, and concluded an overpopulation of deer within the Atlantic City limits poses a threat to property and public safety. If eventually approved, the ordinance would allow bow hunting of antlerless deer, with certain restrictions and conditions. 
 
The Council will also act on a resolution amending the City’s Personnel Policy, with regard to “Safety and Loss Control.” A representative with the Iowa Municipalities Worker Compensation Association conducted a site visit last week, and concluded the City should adopt three new policies. One would require employees to wear seat belts in City vehicles. The second requires the use of a designated physician for on-the-job injuries. The third pertains to a “Return to work” policy.  
 
In other business, the Atlantic City Council will consider and possibly act on a resolution accepting and approving the acquisition of vacant and dilapidated properties which were deemed unsafe for human occupation. The properties are located at 400 Hickory Street, 300 Cedar Street and 302 ½ Cedar Street. The City may decide to demolish at least two of those properties and offer the lots to adjacent property owners or other interested persons, at a reasonable cost. The third house might end-up being purchased for rehabilitation by an interested person, or, the City may decide to demolish it, as well. The Atlantic City Council meeting begins at 5:30-p.m. Wednesday.

Man wanted on warrant involved in Council Bluffs stand-off

News

April 3rd, 2012 by Ric Hanson

A man who was wanted on a misdemeanor warrant will likely face additional charges, after he held authorities in Council Bluffs at bay for about 9-hours before finally being taken into custody early this (Tuesday) morning. According to media reports, officers went to the home on South 13th Street in Council Bluffs at around 5:30-p.m. Monday to serve a warrant for 56-year old Donald Shamblen.

Shamblen was said to be near his garage when officers arrived. The stand-off began when he allegedly told officers he had a gun and a knife, and wasn’t going to jail. A Council Bluffs Emergency Response Team (ERT) and negotiators arrived on the scene, and the area was cordoned-off.

At around 2:30-a.m., police knocked down a door and took Shamblen into custody without incident. He was transported to a hospital for evaluation before being taken to the Pottawattamie County Jail.

News, Weather

April 3rd, 2012 by Ric Hanson

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – The National Weather Service says the lack of winter weather and some record high temperatures helped make March the warmest on record in Iowa. The service says there were several date records and entire weeks of record warmth.

Some examples:  The high of 84 in Des Moines on March 16 broke the 1930 record of 77. The high of 82 in Waterloo on March 17 broke the 2003 record of 78; The average temperature of 66.6 degrees in Waterloo from March 16 through March 22 was nearly 30 degrees above normal for that span; For the month in Des Moines, the average temperature of 55.7 broke the 1910 record of 51.5; For the month in Dubuque, the average temperature of 50.2 degrees broke the 1910 record of 47.7 degrees.

In Atlantic, the average High for March 2012 was 67-degrees, or 22-degrees above the normal average High of 45. The average Low last month was 39, which was 14-degrees warmer than normal.  Rainfall for the month was 1.91-inches, which was nearly four-tenths of an inch below normal.

The month of April started out with a near record high in Atlantic. On Sunday, we topped out at 86 degrees, which was just 1 degree shy of tying the record for that date. On Monday, we broke our record high of 85 set in 1981, when we hit 88-degrees.
