The Pella City Council approved two resolutions for the 2022 Sidewalk Repair Project during their regular session Tuesday night.

The first approval by the council was for the second change order for the final quantity adjustment, while the second resolution that was approved was for order preparation for the final plat and schedule of assessments. In 2018, the Pella City Council approved a sidewalk inspection program, which divided the city into quadrants, allowing a complete sidewalk inspection every four years. The 2022 program focused on the southwest quadrant of the City. On April 4th of this year, the council approved a contract with Den Adel Concrete to conduct the repairs to defective panels. The first change order was approved on July 18th, for the purpose of adding City-owned sidewalk panels to the project. The approval of the second change order Tuesday night, decreased the contract for final quantity adjustments from $111,724 to $89,063. 

Additionally, the council designated the Marion County Express to continue to be the city’s official newspaper for 2024 legal publications.
