The Pella City Council will hold a special meeting Tuesday to set financing on the Pella Fiber telecom utility.

Additionally, the council will also approve the construction contract and bond with Excel Utility Contractors for the outside plant portion of the project, which will cost $7.4 million. Following regular business, City Administrator Mike Nardini will give a presentation during policy and planning to provide an update about development in the community.
