The Pella City Council will continue work on several infrastructure projects at their meeting this evening.

Prior to conducting business, new Pella Police Chief Shane McSheehy will be sworn into office by Mayor Don DeWaard.

Bids will also be considered for Clark Street Water Main improvements and construction of a new main along Fifield Road from West 9th street extending north to West Washington Street. Council will also hear a presentation from the Old-Growth Forest Network, a non profit founded to preserve remaining old-growth forests, to make Big Rock Park the first in Iowa as part of the network already established in 106 forests across 23 states.

A public hearing will be scheduled for a fiber optic connection from Pella Fiber to Unity Point Hospital in Grinnell, and the second reading of two ordinances — one for a rezoning application for the new Lely North America headquarters and the other at the northern terminus of West 12th street will also be considered. The Pella City Council meeting begins at 7:00 this evening in the Pella Public Safety Complex and is accessible online:
