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.
