During its recent meeting, the Pella City Council approved a contract for enhancements to the local soccer complex, allocating over $760,000 for upgrades to the irrigation system and surface restoration. Although the project was budgeted at $700,000 for the upcoming fiscal year, bids exceeded this amount. Construction is set to begin this summer, with completion anticipated by August 2026. Additionally, the council reviewed plans for a $7.85 million renovation of the Pella Community Center, which will include significant updates to plumbing, HVAC, and electrical systems, alongside repurposing office spaces and improving accessibility features. No action was taken on this proposal at the meeting. Other agenda items approved included resolutions for the Pella Indoor Recreation Center final contract, Union Street improvements, and an Iowa DOT grant application for airport apron enhancements.
