The Mount Pleasant City Council met Wednesday evening at City Hall, covering audit results, infrastructure updates, and new site plans.
City Administrator Brent Schleisman reported the city’s 2025 audit has been received, noting strong financial management and compliance. The council also approved the annual financial report to be submitted to the State of Iowa and published locally.
An amendment was approved to the Winfield Avenue Replacement Project’s engineering agreement after the Iowa DOT required the road and trail portions to be separated due to different grant requirements. The project includes $1.9 million in state and federal funding. The council also approved a $149,100 contract with Geeding Construction for manhole replacements to prepare for upcoming roadwork.
Two new developments received approval: Bark Blvd. Kennels, a boarding facility and Coffee shop at 905 and 907 East Ash Street, and a six-building self-storage complex by County Ridge Builders at 915 South Iris Street.
Council members also approved a $90,000 cost reduction change order for the airport taxi lane and hangar project. Mayor Steve Brimhall noted that the airport had a productive year, including spraying over 200,000 acres and training new pilots.
A resident raised a concern about tree maintenance along Broadway Street; the city will review whether the trees are within the right-of-way.
The next City Council meeting is scheduled for October 22 at 5:30 p.m. at City Hall.
