Some highlights of what is on this week's agenda for the city council meeting:

  • Mayor Matt Hayek will deliver the State of the City Address
  • The City Council will address a change to its bar ordinance allowing a relaxing of curfew rules for 19- and 20-year-olds in bars on concert nights. 
    • From the packet: "Our entertainment venues  took  part in  the  development of the  present  law, but the  change  in  law regarding  the  I-PACT program  makes  a  change  appropriate, and  the venues  have found  that their businesses  are  being  hurt by  the midnight curfew for their  19 and  20  year old  patrons more than they expected.  Because the  venues  have  all  shown  good  results  in  preventing  underage drinking  in  their establishments, staff has  faith  that  management will  continue  to  do well  without the curfew." 
  • The City Council will consider bids for the reconstruction of the fire-damaged Iowa City Landfill. The city staff recommends the bidder at $1.3 million.
  • There are some zoning items related to the North Dodge Hy-Vee moving to the current location of the Robert's Dairy.
  • In the work session, council members will discuss local homeless services.
