Submitted by admin on Tue, 10/22/2019 - 15:52

By Audrey Posten, North Iowa Times

The MFL MarMac School Board, at its Oct. 14 meeting, voiced support for the district’s proposed fieldhouse and facilities improvement project.

Plans currently include constructing one full competition gym, which could be divided into two full-size practice courts, in the area behind the music addition at the Monona Center, where the tennis courts are currently located. The roughly 32,000-square-foot facility is projected to hold 1,200 people, making it large enough to host district events. The fieldhouse would also feature a walking/running track that could be accessible to the public, as well as a commons area, concession stand for both indoor and outdoor events and bathrooms and locker rooms.

No temporary fix for McGregor sewer issues

Submitted by admin on Tue, 10/22/2019 - 15:51

By Audrey Posten, North Iowa Times

The city of McGregor’s hopes to find a temporary fix for its sewer infiltration and inflow problems have been dashed. 

Mark Davy, with Davy Engineering, said his company has considered four or five different alternatives to give the community some breathing room until a larger-scale sewer improvement project for the 100 to 600 blocks of Main Street can be completed, but none will remedy the situation, which has resulted in eventual wastewater discharges to the Mississippi River.

The cast iron fountain that’s been a staple in McGregor’s Triangle Park since the early 1990s returned to its rightful home at the end of September.

The fountain was removed from the downtown park late last fall for some much-needed repairs.

“It was tipped over in the tornado,” resulting in damage to the base and plumbing, said park board president Maria Brummel. “But even before that, there was a plan to sand blast and powder coat it. It was really coated with heavy mineral deposits from the water.”

By Audrey Posten, North Iowa Times

UTV riders are hoping for more freedom to travel and make stops within the city of Monona. On Oct. 7, a group of residents approached the city council about updating the community’s ordinance regarding the use of all-terrain vehicles and snowmobiles.

“We’d like to discuss why we can’t go anywhere in town like most of the surrounding cities do,” said Pat Echard. “Why did we decide not to do that?”
