During the regular meeting of the Panora City Council March 23, the council members considered a quote from Dirt-Teck LLC for the city’s planned sewer project along Clay Street. Public Works Director Ismael Galvan recommended approving Dirt-Teck and their price quote of approximately $180,000. Galvan also noted the city could decrease the cost by having the city crew do some of the prep work.
“Our recommendation is to go with Dirt-Teck,” Galvan said. “I think that’s a better option for us to go.”
Galvan said the project will include approximately 460 feet of sewer line. The council voted to approve the quote by Dirt-Teck.
In other news, a public hearing was held regarding the proposed property taxes for fiscal year 2026-2027. No verbal or written comments were received, so the hearing promptly closed. The council set a public hearing on the proposed budget at 5:30 p.m. on April 13. Immediately after that public hearing, there will be a public hearing on the city’s proposed amendment of Section 5-4-20 of the Zoning Ordinance related to Permitted Uses by adding a new subsection regarding churches or accessory buildings.
The next regular meeting is set for Monday, April 13 at 5:30 p.m. The public is welcome. Interested persons may attend in person or electronically by visiting the website https://meet.goto.com/cityofpanora or by phone 1-312-757-3121 (Access Code 295-099-701, Audio PIN 220#).
