Council to hear on CIP, Snow Ordinance, Grandview Grants

MUSCATINE, Iowa – The Muscatine City Council will hear three presentations from staff Thursday (July 14) during the Council’s In-Depth session in the Council Chambers at Muscatine City Hall, 215 Sycamore Street, Muscatine, Iowa.

A virtual meeting will be held in conjunction with the in-person meeting for those who want to view the proceedings or make a comment but do not feel comfortable in attending in person. Details for joining that meeting are listed below. 

Capital Improvement Plan 2022-2026 Draft

Muscatine City Planner April Limburg will provide the Council with an overview of the working draft for the 2022-2026 City of Muscatine Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) that has been developed over the last two months by City staff. The CIP is the planning, coordination, and scheduling of public physical improvements for a community over a period of years. A five-year CIP is required of Iowa cities by state law.

Projects in the plan were submitted by the various City departments and include any major non-recurring expenditure, or any expenditure for physical facilities in excess of $25,000. All submitted projects are included in the initial draft with a scoring mechanism used to assist in prioritizing each proposal.

Among the notable new projects in the draft CIP are the Fulliam Corridor Replacement, Isett Avenue Corridor Replacement, Houser Street Corridor Replacement, Papoose Station Generator and Public Restrooms, and a Synthetic Field with an Inflatable Dome.

The Council will review the CIP, add or remove projects from the five-year plan, and then approve the CIP to be used as a legislative and management tool to facilitate the scheduling, planning, and execution of a series of public improvement projects. Click on the following link to download a PDF version of the Draft CIP 2022-2026.

Snow Emergency Ordinance

Public Works Director Brian Stineman will then present on the proposed changes to the current Snow Emergency Ordinance in City Code. The goal of the changes is to provide of more easily understood policy for citizens and staff.

The current ordinance, implemented in 2013, is the alternate side of street parking policy that, when implemented, requires vehicles to be parked on the even or odd side of the street depending on the calendar date. Through feedback from staff and citizens, the City has determined that the ordinance, as written, is difficult to understand, difficult to comply with, and difficult to enforce.

City staff is proposing amending the current Snow Emergency Ordinance, returning to the snow emergency routes identified in the Public Works Snow Removal Plan, and purchasing and placing Snow Emergency Route signs. At such time as a snow emergency is declared, vehicles will need to be removed from the posted routes.

Grandview Neighborhood Grant Program

The final presentation will be provided by Community Development Director Jodi Royal-Goodwin on the proposed Grandview Neighborhood Grant Program that will be offered in two tiers. The first tier will focus on promoting positive neighborhood activities and funding small scale neighborhood projects through mini-grants of up to $1,000. The second tier will fund larger scale neighborhood improvements by providing financial assistance through grants of up to $10,000. The proposed grants will be funded with American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) dollars allocated to neighborhood revitalization.

The program is a part of the Grandview Corridor Revitalization Project that was launched in March 2021 with the goal of improving neighborhoods and enhancing Muscatine’s southern gateway. Five pillars were identified as part of the project including Economic Development, Business Support, Recreational Amenities, and Residential Support. Using Muscatine’s Heart and Soul engagement model and results from the 2022 Muscatine Community Survey, three key themes were developed and used to create the grant program. Those themes include grant program categories, varied grant amounts, and common eligibility requirements.

Information on the presentations and other agenda items can be found by clicking AGENDA to download a PDF version of the City Council agenda and/or attachments. 

Thursday’s City Council meeting is open to the public. Citizens who do not want to attend the in-person meeting can watch and/or participate through the GoToMeeting virtual meeting portal.

Early start time for City Council Thursday; two meetings scheduled

MUSCATINE, Iowa – The Muscatine City Council will have an early start to their Thursday (April 14) schedule with a special meeting at 5:15 p.m. to hear a presentation from the Merge Urban Development Group on the Carver Corner Redevelopment.

 

Following the special meeting, the City Council will conduct their regularly scheduled In-Depth session but at an earlier time. The In-Depth session is now scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. with presentations on the city deer management plan, the Community Foundation of Greater Muscatine South End Improvement Project, and a presentation on violent crime statistics.

 

Both meetings will be held in the Council Chambers at Muscatine City Hall, 215 Sycamore Street, Muscatine, Iowa.

 

A virtual meeting will be held in conjunction with the in-person meeting for those who want to view the proceedings or make a comment but do not feel comfortable in attending in person. Details for joining that meeting are listed below. 

 

Merge will be presenting an updated proposal that includes a five-story, 56-unit mixed use building with a residential mix of studio, 1-bed and 2-bed units as part of a $9 million project. The ground floor would consist of a residential lobby space, bike storage, and approximately 6,000 square feet of micro retail and retail space.

 

While the initial development includes one building, the developer has expressed interest in developing the entire parcel in the future dependent on financing.

 

The presentation will be followed by a vote on a resolution committing to support an application to the Iowa Economic Development Group by Merge Urban Development Group for the proposed Carver Corner Development.

 

Parks and Recreation Director Richard Klimes and Superintendent of Parks Nick Gow will open the In-Depth meeting with a presentation on the results of the 2021-2022 City Deer Management Plan and a discussion on the positives, negatives, and other considerations for allowing public property to be used for future City deer hunts.

 

The 2021-2022 program continues the management plant that allows for the controlled reduction of the deer population through maintenance instead of eradication. The past season was determined to be a success with 18 hunters taking 39 deer from Sept. 18, 2021, through Jan. 10, 2020.

 

Klimes and Gow will also provide an update on the Community Foundation of Greater Muscatine South End Improvement Fund Projects. These projects include upgrades to Taylor Park (i.e., pickleball courts, splash pad, and modular restroom), shelters at Taylor, Musser, and Kent Stein Parks, and playgrounds at Musser, Taylor, and Sunset Parks.

 

The final presentation will come from Lt. David O’Connor of the Muscatine Police Department (MPD) who will review violent crime trends in Muscatine and some of the community policing efforts being conducted by the MPD.

Jindrich clarifies statement from pit bull ordinance discussion

MUSCATINE, Iowa – Fifth Ward City Council Representative John Jindrich has issued a clarification to remarks made during the discussion on the first reading of an ordinance striking Title 6, Chapter 9 (Keeping of Pit Bulls) from Muscatine City Code at the April 7 City Council meeting.

“I am the first to admit when I am wrong and I was not accurate with the 2019 numbers that I referenced,” Jindrich said. “I have great respect and admiration for the Muscatine Humane Society and the work they do. I commend their efforts to rehome not only pit bulls but all breeds of dogs and cats.”

 

During his comments Thursday on the ordinance, Jindrich stated that 29 pit bull dogs were taken in by the Muscatine Humane Society in 2019 with 26 euthanized. The number of euthanized pit bulls was in error.

 

Jindrich clarified that of the 29 pit bulls that were taken in by the Muscatine Humane Society in 2019, four were adopted, 10 were returned to their owners, two were transferred to other shelters, one pit bull puppy died from the parvo virus, and four remained at the shelter into 2020. Only eight of the original 29 were determined to be unadoptable.

City Council to hold public hearing on revised Animal Control Ordinance

MUSCATINE, Iowa – The Muscatine City Council will conduct a public hearing on changes to the Animal Control Ordinance, and then hear the first reading of that ordinance during Thursdays’ (Feb. 3) meeting in the Council Chambers at Muscatine City Hall.
