In an effort to expand available public restroom facilities in the Central Business District, the Pella City Council is considering an agreement with the Pella Area Community and Economic Alliance at their meeting this week.

Listed below are the key terms of the agreement:
1. The PACE Alliance is responsible to locate two businesses within the Central Business District who will allow the general public to use their restrooms. The restroom facility locations would be subject to approval of the City Council. To-date, the only location the PACE Alliance is proposing is Dutchfix at 621 Franklin Street.
2. The term of the agreement expires on December 31, 2022.
3. The businesses would be required to have their restrooms open and available to the general public six days a week (including weekends) from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. with the exception of the following 2022 holidays: Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day.
4. The City of Pella would pay a monthly stipend of $600 per restroom location (up to a maximum of two restroom locations) to the PACE Alliance.
5. The city would be removed from any liability associated with the proposed restroom program.
Summary

When the PACE Alliance secures a second location, it will be presented to Council for approval. The Pella City Council will next meet Tuesday at 6 p.m. in the Pella Public Safety Complex, a session that can also be heard online: https://join.me/CityofPella
