The final meeting of the calendar year arrives this evening for the Pella City Council.

A public hearing will be held for an ordinance amending the new wards for upcoming city elections. The changes were made in response to the 2020 census and to account for shifting populations within corporate limits.

A resolution on the agenda also includes updated agreements between Marion County and the City of Pella to establish precincts of incorporated and unincorporated territory, a requirement from the Secretary of State’s office to ensure precinct boundaries align with census block boundaries.

Council will also consider:
– execution of a third amendment to the Development Agreement with South Main
– change order no. 1 and adjustments of final quantities used during construction of the 218th Avenue and Neil Drive Reconstruction project
– amending an engineering services agreement with Garden & Associates for the University Street Reconstruction project
– 2nd readings of ordinances for changes to the South Main Planned Unit Development at 413 Main Street and a Rezoning Application for 413 Jefferson St. and 1108 E. Second St. to change the zoning from Institutional to Multiple-Family Residential

The final Pella City Council meeting of 2021 begins at 6:00 this evening in the Pella Public Safety Complex, and is also available to watch online: https://join.me/CityofPella
