Beyond the regional airport vote, the Pella City Council was able to complete other policy work.

The council also held a pair of public hearings for ordinances adding criteria for the Board of Adjustment when considering special use permits and the option to grant minor modifications when approving zoning variance applications. Both will have a second reading at the next meeting on February 21st.

They approved engineering contracts for upcoming road reconstruction projects on Elm, Lincoln, and Columbus Streets as well.
