(KNZA)--The Hiawatha City Commission Monday evening approved a new contract with the Hiawatha Country Club to provide effluent water for irrigation.
Under the 10-year contract, the Country Club will pay the city $6,000 a year. That's a $2,000 a year increase from what the Country Club currently pays.
City Administrator Becky Berger said the contract includes a provision that will allow the city's to adjust what it charges based on any potential increase in the city's cost.
The current five-year contract expires at the end of this month and Berger said the Country Club requested to go with a longer term contract.
She said the contract has been reviewed and approved by the city attorney.
The city has been providing effluent water to the County Club for irrigation purposes since 2013.
On the recommendation of city Public Works Director Brad Scott, the commission approved the repair of 10th Street between Miami and Shawnee Streets by J & B Contractors for a cost of $7,900. Scott said the street is badly deteriorated where a manhole was replaced during a sewer project several years ago and needs to be repaired.
On the recommendation of Mayor Becky Shamburg, the commission approved declaring December 26 as a city holiday. City employees already have December 25th off for Christmas. Due to the Christmas holiday, the Commission will hold its next meeting on Thursday, December 28th.
