Mayor Backs Water Main Loan Vote After Council Clash
At a special council session and a subsequent public meeting, Mayor W. H. Stepanek joined the council to send a federal Des Moines loan and grant application for water main extensions. He had opposed the move earlier, citing other public works projects, but said delays could jeopardize funds for a garbage incinerator. The $150,000 project would be funded by a bond issue approved by voters and retired from water revenue.

Water Works Funding Push Clears City Council Measure
Burgos argues a 30 percent cost share plus mostly labor will keep total costs near normal and yield city profits. Council unanimously approved April 13 to seek Reconstruction Finance Corp funds for water main extensions in Country Club Heights, aligning with a prior council resolution. The same logic reportedly influenced the mayor’s shift in stance.
