WEST BURLINGTON — The West Burlington City Council members said little more than “yes” at their Tuesday night meeting. While discussion was to a minimum, here is what the council approved.
a resolution to appoint Kelly Fry as city clerk
a resolution to appoint Katie Willeford as deputy city clerk
the Des Moines County News and The Hawk Eye as the city’s official newspapers
considering payment to Snyder & Associates for engineering services related to the Wastewater Treatment Plant Improvements.
West Burlington Fire Chief Shaun Ryan said the fire department ended 2017 with just under 600 service calls. While he has not run official numbers yet, Ryan said medical calls have dropped from about 67 to 68 percent of the total number of calls to 64 to 66 percent in that time.
Since the new year started, the department has received nine calls, six of which were fire related. Ryan said most of those were furnace-related fires due to the cold weather.
