The Indianola City Council received a presentation on the upcoming Rental Inspection Program that will be implemented in the city, if the US Census results in the city crossing the 15,000 threshold in population. City Manager Ryan Waller tells KNIA News state law requires certain policies put in place once a city reaches a certain threshold.
“We believe that we will hit the 15,000 population threshold. Per state law, once you hit that you are required to implement a rental inspection program. It is something we are planning for as there are some staffing and expenses along with that, so we have to implement that into the budget.”
The Indianola City Council and Warren County Board of Supervisors approved a memorandum of understanding regarding storm sewer repair on the downtown Indianola square at their most recent meetings. City Manager Ryan Waller tells KNIA News during the Warren County Justice Center construction, and the planning process for the Square Streetscape Project, a collapsed storm sewer was found that could inhibit further construction.
“This is going to be a temporary repair that we are working together on, then it’s going to be completely fixed once we go through the streetscape project later this year. We wanted to do it now so when the snow starts to thaw and we have spring rains, just making sure that the water is being conveyed property and not damaging the work done on the county site.”
The Indianola City Council meets in regular session Monday. The council will consider an appointment to the Fine Arts and Beautification Commission, a memorandum of understanding between the city and Warren County for sewer work on the square, reviewing capital loan notes, hold a public hearing on an application for a State Revolving Fund loan, appoint a representative to the Warren County Joint 911 Service Board, and review a presentation regarding the rental inspection program. The meeting begins at 6pm, and can be viewed via YouTube.
