Upon officers arrival both vehicles had moved from Oak Street onto N. 5th Street. 27-year-old Kya Rae Torres of Red Oak stated she was driving east on Oak Street in her 2010 Chevrolet Traverse when she handed an item to her daughter and when she looked back forward she didn’t have enough time to avoid colliding with the vehicle in front of her. That vehicle was a 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix driven by 17-year-old Felicia Marie Taylor of Red Oak. No one was reported injured in the accident.
Moderate front end damage was reported to the Chevy and Torres refused a tow and wanted to drive the vehicle home. Taylor was also able to drive the Pontiac home. Torres was issued a citation for Following Too Closely.

The Atlantic City Council this (Wednesday) evening will discuss filling the vacant At-Large seat on the Council. Their meeting begins at 5:30 in the Council’s Chambers, at City Hall.
Tuesday evening, the City’s Personnel and Finance Committee interviewed applicants for the seat in a closed session, and concluded when the open session resumed, that longtime Atlantic businessman Gerald Brink would be their recommendation to the Council. Four people had applied for the At Large Council seat. Three of them were interviewed Tuesday. If the Council eventually approves Brink’s appointment, the public will have 14 days to file a petition requesting a Special Election to fill the seat, which became vacant by the resignation of Bob Cord, who has moved to Des Moines.
In other business, the Atlantic City Council will recognize the Atlantic Trojan Softball Team for their performance this season and making it to the State Softball Tournament. The team was first organized in 1972. At that time, current City Clerk Deb Wheatley-Field was the Co-Captain. The Summer of 2016 was the first time in the 44-year history of the team, that they made it to the State Championship.
The Council will also act on a Resolution approving the Fiscal Year 2016 Financial Report (as required by Iowa Code), and a Resolution authorizing the bids for the Bull Creek Culvert replacement project. The location of the repair is southeast of the 8th and Walnut Street intersection, where a large portion of the ground has collapsed, posing a hazard to people and vehicles in the alley. The cost estimates exceed $200,000, and will be paid for from the bond fund issued for the Bull Creek project.
Near the end of the meeting, the Atlantic City Council will discuss pets and livestock within City Limits, with regard to pot-bellied pigs, and, City Administrator John Lund will present his “Multi-residential Rollback Impact” report, with regard to the new multi-residential property class on the City’s budget.
