The Pella City Council approved changes to the contract for the Southeast Switching Station, adding $61,300 in cost to the project. They also approved a free lap swim week at the indoor pool from November 26th to December 1st as part of the Healthiest State Initiative. During policy and planning, the council expressed their interest in burying many of the remaining overhead power lines in the city. The planned start of that work would begin in Fall of next year.
