Plan Commission - May 06, 2026

The City of Clinton Iowa Plan Commission held a meeting on May 6, 2026, primarily to discuss the proposed vacation of an alley located at 113-119 6th Avenue South. The discussion focused on the Clinton Police Department's plan to fence in the alley to secure their parking lot and property, including the installation of electric fences with controlled access via key fobs and keypads. The project is funded through the city's Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for fiscal year 2026, and the commission reviewed the impact on adjacent property owners and businesses, ensuring continued reasonable access. After public comments and clarifications, the commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the alley vacation to the city council, noting that the final decision rests with the council. No specific contract awards or vendor selections were detailed, but the project involves coordination with Alliance for fence installation and wiring work.
