The Sioux City Council met on October 12, 2026, with Mayor Scott absent. The meeting covered a consent agenda with routine items, public hearings on infrastructure projects, citizen concerns, and presentations. Key discussions included the wastewater treatment plant facility plan, personnel reorganization, and a request for an Indigenous Peoples Day proclamation.
Ertrand. Here. Grayford. Here. Here. We move to a moment of silence in the Pledge of Allegiance. I move to the consent agenda. Items two through 13 C constitute the consent agenda. Items pass unanimously. Unless a separate roll call vote is requested by a council member. Anybody wishing to speak on an agenda item may come to the podium at the time the item is being discussed. Anyone wishing to speak on an item not on the agenda may do so at the end of the regular council meeting during citizens' concerns. Please fill out a citizen concern card found outside the chamber's entrance and give it to the city managers. All speakers shall state their name for the record and then provide their statement. Can I get a second? I will second that. And Nicole, do you want to comment on what you and Heidi have learned on the citizens' concerns portion, or do you want to hold off until you notice that? Uh we'll go ahead and probably make the recommendation for next week. Okay. Okay. Thank you. Item two, reading of the October 5th City Council meetings, minutes. Item three, motion appointing McKenzie Heiserot to the Jillian Koskovo sister city committee. Upon due consideration of circumstances, the city council waives the policy that no person shall serve on more than one board or commission and reappointing McKenzie Heiserrote to the Jillian Kosovo sister city committee. Item four resolution authorizing execution of a request for release of funds and an environmental review environmental assessment, including a notice of finding, no significant impact pursuant to HUD regulations in conjunction with the home investment partnership program and related to the web apartments project. Marty or Jill, so how will you determine there's no environmental impact? Do you actually have to do a separate study? Good question. Um, Jill Wanerside Neighborhood Services Manager. Um so the environmental review process is a little different. It's HUD specific, and so Sud HUD has a whole list of requirements that we go through. So it's probably not the typical environmental review you're thinking of where you're testing soil and doing all those kinds of things. It's um all sorts of things from historic review to noise to um trying to think air quality, those kinds of things. It's more geared towards quality of life for the people that'll eventually be living there, conducive to people living there. Yep, and that being said, um the developer has done a phase one too, so that's also part of that process as well, but it's not a an in-depth kind of nuts and bolts in terms of the phone. Yes, in response to the notice. Yep, exactly. Okay, thank you. Uh-huh. Item five, resolution adopting plans and specs for the main overlook project. Jill, is that you also? No.
