Waukee City Council Meeting August 3, 2026

The City of Waukee held a council meeting on August 3, 2026, which included several procurement-related discussions and approvals. A key agenda item was the approval of a streetscape project along Grand Prairie Parkway in the Kettlestone Development Area. The project, which had been in planning for over 11 years, involved gateway signage, landscaping, hardscaping, and intersection improvements. The city received two close bids for the project, with the recommended bid coming in slightly below the engineer's estimate. The council approved the plan, specifications, contract form, and cost estimate for this project. Additionally, the council discussed the upcoming fiscal year 2026 audit by Deadman and Company, highlighting audit risks and compliance considerations. Other items included ordinance approvals related to tax increment financing (TIF) for North Waukee residential development, amendments to municipal codes on playing in streets and dog park regulations, and rezoning for a new active adult living community. No other procurement contracts or vendor selections were noted during the meeting.
