The Waukee City Council meeting on October 20, 2025, focused significantly on the transition of the city's municipal gas utility to Mid-American Energy Company. The council held public hearings and approved resolutions and ordinances to authorize the disposal of certain city-owned real estate interests related to the utility and to grant Mid-American Energy a 25-year franchise to operate natural gas services within the city. This marked the culmination of a multi-year project involving extensive staff efforts. Additionally, the council approved various zoning and development plans, including preliminary plats and site plans for commercial and industrial properties, supporting ongoing infrastructure and community growth. Amendments to city ordinances concerning noise control and tree management were also introduced and approved, reflecting the city's commitment to regulatory compliance and environmental stewardship.
