Landlords push compromise nuisance law at Iowa City council
Iowa City considers a compromise nuisance ordinance requiring landlords tenants and police to form plans to curb disturbances near campuses. Landlords face permit actions for unresolved nuisances while tenants charged with crimes or infractions near properties could trigger enforcement. Mayor Lehman calls it gentle as housing officials seek fixes with city approval and inspectors work toward broader coverage.

LIFTS eyes using former juvenile center for buses
Linn County LIFTS proposes parking four buses at the Abbe Center site north of Marion to cut mileage and driver costs. The plan would allow starting and finishing Marion-area routes from the old detention facility, boosting efficiency by about four hours daily and saving roughly 400 to 500 dollars a day. More discussion from supervisors is expected before a final decision.
