Sioux City approves consent agenda, interviews candidates for boards and commissions

Sioux City Council approved its consent agenda covering minutes, temporary street closures and routine appointments, then interviewed several applicants for boards and commissions.

Mark Solheim introduced himself to council as an applicant for the Civil Service Commission, saying, “My name is Mark Solheim. I live at 2909 Garretson Avenue” and describing a technical background that includes plumbing and HVAC licenses and past work as a maintenance manager and shift manager at hospitality venues. Human resources director Janelle Bertrand told council staff and the clerk provide an hour of one-on-one orientation for boards and commissions. The consent agenda — items three through eleven, which included appointments to the Transit System Advisory Board and the Transit System Board — was carried as presented unless members pulled items for separate votes.
