Iola City Council members will take another look at a number of long-standing issues when they gather for their regular meeting Monday.
Mosquito spraying, which was disbanded this year following several debates about the practices effectiveness and cost, will be discussed once again.
Because of wetter-than-normal spring weather, some Council members are asking for the spraying to resume. The cost to do so from here on out would be about $12,000, according to City Administrator Sid Fleming.
Council members also will look at speed limits in north Iola, in particular Miller Road and Cottonwood Street. Speed limits for both were reduced from 35 mph to 30 mph a few years back to allow golf carts access to those streets.
However, the golf cart issue was rendered moot when Cedarbrook Golf Course closed its doors earlier this year. Fleming is asking the Council reinstate the 35 mph speed limit.
Downtown parking rules for residents living in upstairs apartments has become an issue as well. Fleming will once again ask the Council whether the rules prohibiting parking on the square overnight should remain, or amended for downtown tenants.
Finally, plans to repair the flood-damaged Recreation Community Building will take center stage once again as the Council hears a proposal for a second type of epoxy sealant for a portion of the concrete floor.
The 6 p.m. meeting at Iolas New Community Building at Riverside Park is open to the public.
