______________________________________________________________________________ CITY OF TIFFIN CITY ADMINISTRATOR REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL August 16, 2024 • Item K-2 – This partial invoice is part of the Developer’s Agreement with Jason Dumont and the Tiffin Heights West Development. Just as a reminder, in the developer’s agreement, the City agreed to pay for 67.5% of the water and sewer main infrastructure. • On Thursday Brian Detert and I met with Andrew Endhelder from MSA to look at the water issues and the slope of the alley around the fire station. Although we generally looked at a couple of options that may work to alleviate the water problems, MSA is going to start by surveying the area. • Attached is the Outstanding Obligations Disclosure Statement for 2024. This is an annual report to the State that shows all the City’s outstanding notes, amounts, purpose and classification. This is not a report that requires council approval. This ‘financial snapshot’ is simply for the council’s information. • Just a friendly reminder of the Iowa League of Cities Annual Conference on September 17-19 in Sioux City. For those of you who would like to go, please let me know and I will get you registered. I know this is about the furthest away it can be for us to go but in previous years we have done a nice job of attending this conference. Like previous years, we will coordinate transportation to the conference. Here is the link to the conference schedule. https://iowaleague.org/workshops-events/annual- conference/workshop-amp-events-schedule2/ • Sergeant Hynes and I will be meeting next week to discuss the areas of concern in reference to current speed limits. I intend to have this topic on the next work session agenda. • Item K-4 – In this year’s budget we planned for the purchase of a small pickup for the Public Works Department much like we did last year for the Water/Wastewater Department. During the budget process, Brian Detert put together the specifications for the truck. Attached is the pricing for a Ford Ranger that is currently on the lot at Lynch Ford.
