Forst Takes Oath, Projects To Be Discussed at Urbandale Council Meeting

New Urbandale City Council member John Forst will take the oath of office at tonight's meeting.

Forst was chosen from a candidate pool of six on Dec. 18 to fill the seat left vacated by John Forbes, who won election to House District 40.

A council member from 1999 to 2008, plans to only fill the gap of one year before the seat is up for election.

The Urbandale City Council meets at 7 p.m. in council chambers at city hall.

Other agenda items:

• The council will consider the Meredith Drive Paving Project. Approval would authorize the city to solicit bids for the project and establish a Feb. 5 public hearing.

• Consider the Iowa Department of Transportation funding agreement for 100th Street and 54th Avenue intersection.
