City Council - 09/28/26 5:30 pm

The City of Marshalltown City Council meeting on September 28, 2026, included several spending- and infrastructure-related actions. The council approved a 4% salary adjustment for the city administrator in a 4–3 vote; discussion cited a current base salary of about $195,000 and an increase of roughly $7,800, while noting additional retirement contributions. By a 6–1 vote, it approved a six-month extension to the real estate purchase agreements for 406 and 411 West Lind Street, allowing Lindry Properties LLC more time to complete work on houses relocated from the library property. A separate resolution concerning the routing and treatment of JBS pretreated wastewater was approved unanimously; the discussion addressed treatment capacity and regulatory compliance, but no project cost or contract award was stated.

The council also approved an ordinance changing parking restrictions around Anson Elementary to improve student safety and voted to waive the remaining readings; it approved a separate collection-vehicles ordinance. The Impact program’s report noted that its current funding ends December 31, with future funding still being pursued, but no funding allocation was made at this meeting. Public comments included requests to explore affordable, smaller homes and grants, and concerns about city salary spending. No RFP, bid approval, or vendor selection was identified.
