Reports from City Personnel — CMReport

______________________________________________________________________________ CITY OF TIFFIN CITY ADMINISTRATOR REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL August 15, 2025 • The North Park Road Project continues to be on schedule and will be open for the first day of school. Last Friday we had another meeting onsite with MSA, Boomerang, representatives from the school and the Sheriff’s Department to make sure the plan for moving phase 1 further north and the complete phase 1 shutdown meets everyone’s expectations for traffic flow and safety. • We think Rec Fest this past weekend went well. We heard a lot of compliments on the new location. Having everything together in close proximity seemed to be appreciated by the majority of those who attended. Monday morning staff had a debriefing session to discuss the things that went well and the things that can be improved upon for next year. One aspect for next year that we must follow through on is having a committee to help plan the event. Rec Fest is simply becoming too large of an event for a small group of City staff to organize and carryout. We did get a handful of people to signup who said they would like to help next year but we could certainly use several more individuals added to the list. • Work continues with the Special Census. We are now having weekly meetings with the regional special census bureau team. We are quickly approaching the internet self- response period that starts September 3rd and are also working through the space requirements for bureau’s team. Current space at City Hall is going to be tight but we should have that issue resolved soon. Before we go live with the dates, we would also like to review dates for hosting at least three Public Information Meetings. • Attached is a proposal for a sand volleyball court(s) to be built in the Jim Bartels Tiffin City Park. Please review the proposal before the meeting on Tuesday night. I will have additional information on this during my administrator’s report. • This year’s Iowa League of Cities Annual Conference will be held in Des Moines, September 17-19. For those of you who would like to go, please let me know and I will get you registered. In previous years, we have done a nice job of attending this conference. For those that will be attending, we will coordinate transportation to the conference.
