Trick or Treat hours will be October 31st from 6:00PM-8:00PM.
This is a reminder that campaign signs in the right of way is a violation of Iowa Code 68A.406 which reads as follows:
2. a. Campaign signs shall not be placed on any of the following:
(1) Any property owned by the state or the governing body of a county, city, or other political subdivision of the state, including all property considered the public right-of-way. Upon a determination by the board that a sign has been improperly placed, the sign shall be removed by highway authorities as provided in section 318.5, or by county or city law enforcement authorities in a manner consistent with section 318.5.
If a campaign sign is no longer there, candidates can collect them at City Hall.
As a general rule, any area between the edge of the street and the sidewalk is considered right of way. If there is no sidewalk, utility poles generally are an indication of where the property line ends and the right of way begins. If there are no utility poles on your side of the street, there are usually poles on the other side of the street. In most cases, the distance from the center of the street to the utility poles is the same distance on both sides of the street. If you have questions, please contact City Hall and we can help guide you to the location of the property line.
We are under a burn ban until further notice. Please do not burn until the ban has been lifted. First offense results in a $110 fine.
Thank you
