The Indianola City Council gave direction to city staff, at the request of City Manager Ryan Waller, to organize an employee engagement committee to put together a banquet for all city employees. The council, which performed a review of Waller at the most recent meeting, cited accomplishments for the city over the past year, including a bond rating increase, the city honored with a distinguished budget award, the response to the storm last summer, and the successful hosting of RAGBRAI among many others. The council also approved an amendment to Waller’s contract, awarding a 4% raise.
