Well, it’s official: traffic cameras are coming to Tama. The third reading of the amended traffic ordinance was met with no public comments at Monday night’s city council.

There was some discussion between the council members before the final vote to pass the ordinance change. All council members voted for the cameras except for newly sworn-in councilman Danny Robinson. The cameras are expected to be installed sometime this spring in two separate locations — 17th and McClellan and 13th and Park.

The meeting started with a presentation to the outgoing council members, technically member, as Anne Michael was the only one who showed up.

The council accepted the resignation of Tama Police Officer Aaron Adams, who has been hired by Story City. It was then subsequently approved to advertise for a new officer.

The council talked over a contract with Iowa Plains and agreed to buy signs.

They listed all the appointments the mayor made for which council members to which boards. The council also approved officer appointments for Fire and EMS.

It was approved for the sewer department to get a new truck with money that is budgeted.

The city’s contract with the Tama County Humane Society was approved.
