MARION, Iowa (AP) — Police in the Cedar Rapids suburb of Marion have charged a man with first-degree murder in the death of a woman whose body was found rolled up in a blanket after being left for several days in a trailer.

The City Council in Atlantic will meet in their first regularly scheduled meeting of the month Wednesday evening. During their 5:30-p.m. session at City Hall, the Council is expected to approve an Order to close certain streets for the 2017 Atlantic Fireman’s Parade on October 14th, beginning at 6-p.m. The Parade starts and 2nd at Chestnut Streets and proceeds south to 6th and Chestnut. The parade participants will then head east on 6th Street to Walnut before turning north on Walnut. Their route concludes at 2nd and Walnut.

The Council will hear an update from Atlantic Library Board President Linn Headlee, with regard to Library activities. City Administrator John Lund says since the departure of former Library Director Natalie Struecker, the Library has made considerable progress in the Capital Improvement Plan. Mayor Dave Jones has requested an update on those improvements, and an update on the search for the City’s next Library Director.

In other business, the Atlantic City Council will act on approving a Resolution accepting the easements for the ethanol plant gray water transmission project. The graywater will be produced and supplied by the Wastewater Treatment Plant. The Resolution had been tabled during the Council’s last meeting, because one of the easements had not yet been signed by one of the parties involved. The Council will also act on a Resolution “Authorizing [an] Internal Advance for Funding of [an] Urban Renewal Project.” That’s with regard to a Development Agreement with the Whitney Inn, whereby the City incurred legal bills amounting to $13,170. City Administrator John Lund says in order to properly cost-account this, it needs to expense its legal costs to the Whitney Urban Renewal Area Fund.

That fund has no revenue yet, because the final assessment has not been made, and no taxes have been levied. Lund says therefore the City needs to borrow money from its General Fund, transfer it to the Whitney Fund, and then wait a couple of years until the Whitney Project begins to pay taxes. At that time, he says, the City will capture those dollars with Tax Increment Financing (TIF), make its annual rebate payment to the Whitney Group, then take the remaining amount and reimburse the General Fund, along with a rate of interest to be determined.

The City Council, Wednesday, will also hold the second reading of an Ordinance that amends the City Code, by adding two chapters entitled “Mowing of Properties,” and “Removal of Solid Waste.” The changes are designed to make for a more rapid response time between when a complaint is made and the complaint is handled by the City, if necessary. The Council will hold the first reading of an Ordinance with regard to “Parking Regulations,” as it pertains to where trailers may be parked. At the last Council meeting, some members of the Council requested the hours for loading and unloading a camper before it is removed from public view be changed, from the current 24-hours to 48-hours. In their final order of business, the Atlantic City Council will enter into a closed session prior to adjournment, so that that they may discuss legal strategy with regard to a legal matter with an airport tenant.
