The Indianola City Council approved the first reading of an ordinance regarding requirements to serve on the IMU Board of Trustees at their meeting Monday, requiring members appointed in the future to have at least one service provided by IMU in order to serve on the board. City Manager Jake Meshke tells KNIA News it hasn’t been an issue, but the city wanted the policy approved by council officially.

“The requirement is that an IMU Board of Trustee would have at least one service provided by Indianola Municipal Utilities. This is something that had been something of an informal policy in the past, and we wanted to take this opportunity to make it a codified requirement.”
