Shen council demands info on Sac 'N Save project

(Shenandoah) -- At least one Shenandoah City Council member wants answers regarding the status of the proposed Sac 'N Save housing project. Back in June, the council by a 3-2 vote granted a 90-day extension to Kindra and Michael Weston, developers of the property at 301 West Sheridan Avenue. Council members granted the extension, with stipulations that the Westons work with City Attorney Mahlon Sorensen on possible contract ownership, and for the couple and Origin Group officials to present a financial plan to the council following the 90-day period. Council members then tabled a decision on an extension in September. During Tuesday night's regular council meeting, Councilman Richard Jones asked why no update has been given on the project, save for a letter from Kindra Weston which he says lacked specifics. Jones expressed concerns that the project was dragging, and believes the council deserves an update.

Iowa Gov.-elect Sand adds current, recently former Republicans to staff

DES MOINES — One current Republican and another former-Republican-turned independent have joined Iowa Gov.-elect Rob Sand’s leadership team as he continues the work of establishing his administration. Sand announced Monday that his chief of staff will be Abe Rakov, whose political experience includes leading advocacy groups End Citizens United and Let America Vote. Sand, the Democratic state auditor, was elected Iowa governor during last week’s midterm elections. He will be sworn in as the state’s 44th governor on Jan. 12. Sand announced his latest staff hires and took questions from reporters Monday in the Iowa Capitol rotunda. “I want to have people around who think differently than me,” Sand said during the press conference. “I said it in the campaign, and I meant it every time I said it: The best decisions that you make are the ones where you listen to people that you think you disagree with. … “I know it’s uncommon, but to me that’s the way it ought to be done. That’s the way I did it before, and I want to keep doing it that way.” The new members of what Sand calls his “tripartisan” transition team are Mike Mahaffey, a current Republican and former

Library asks Ames to enforce an overnight camping ban on its property

The Ames Public Library may start enforcing overnight restrictions to curtail littering and vandalism and keep people from camping on the property. The Ames Library Board of Trustees has asked the City of Ames to restrict access during specific hours, similar to current rules for city parks. The board recently noted in a letter to the City of Ames that the library has witnessed "dramatic growth in overnight safety and health concerns on the exterior grounds that cannot be managed by library staff alone." The board said "troublesome activities" occur when the library is closed, which includes individuals that sleep near the building, alcohol consumption and drug use. The board said sleeping individuals occasionally startle upon awakening, have allegedly pulled knives on staff members and followed employees. The library is closed regularly overnight from 9 p.m. to 9 a.m. More: ISU professor accused of killing wife dies from self-inflicted gunshot The board is concerned about staff safety should a situation escalate, Library Board Secretary Debra Gibson said during the Nov. 10 Ames City Council meeting.
