This week’s Tama City Council meeting started with a discussion over the possibility of tearing down the office building at 117 Siegel St. After much discussion, the council agreed to investigate tearing down the building.

The council then had a public hearing and approved the ordinance for the vacation of an alley. The council approved an increase to the ambulance rate, which will begin on the first of January.

The council approved a change order and a payment for the 5th Street realignment, which should close out the project.

The council approved the CIT quote for repairing cracked sewers. After a brief closed session, the council approved not negotiating in the Larry Peterson action, but instead proceeding to trial.
