The Pella City Council discussed the city’s long term facilities plan at their meeting Tuesday.
Extensive updates were given to the council about the future renovations to the Pella Community Center and to a proposed indoor recreation facility north of the Pella Sports Park.
Before the policy and planning session focusing on those two projects, the council held a public hearing to rezone a portion of land near the intersection of Oskaloosa Street and Eagle Lane to light industrial, and approved the first reading. Five other resolutions were also approved, which included a preliminary plat for the corridor business park subdivision, acceptance of public improvements for Prairie Street, an amended job classification and wage scale for city employees, an engineering services agreement with Garden and Associates for a back-to-brick project along Broadway Street, and an architectural and engineering contract with Klingner and Associates for the 215 Main Street Remodeling Project.
