At the April 10 Toledo Council meeting, Tom Kemper’s mowing bid was approved.

A public hearing was held on the proposed amended and restated plan for the Toledo urban revitalization area, and since public attendance was at the stagnant number of zero, the hearing concluded in under a minute. The resolution and ordinance subsequently passed.

The council also made a list of nuisance contractors.

Contract rental of the Toledo Heights Concession with Rosa Garcia was approved, with certain blackout dates, contingent on the summer soccer rental contract’s finalization.

The council accepted the resignation of Erin Gumm from the Toledo Library Board.

Public Works director Kendall Jordan reported that the Juvenile Home demolition is nearing completion. One of the newer city works trucks is in the shop due to an electrical issue. Tama Public Works is helping out in Toledo with street sweeping.

The city clerk reported that some grants were received for swing sets and the police department.

Toledo Police Chief Dan Quigley reported that the police department responded to 140 calls for service between March 27 and April 9. Five arrests were made, and two vehicle pursuits were had, and the suspect threw a firearm, which has since been recovered, out the window during the second one.

The police department was invited to the Birkwook Easter brunch. The Durango is back in the shop, and nuisance abatements are being processed and served. Chief Quigley attended an inspection of the Hotel Toledo.

The council went into closed session before adjourning.
