Meeting a day later than usual due to Labor Day observances, the Indianola City Council approved staffing studies and announced new additions to local boards. The leadership changes included key positions in the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Library Board.

In a move to ensure clear guidelines for future board members, the Indianola City Council approved the first reading of an ordinance focused on IMU Board of Trustees appointments. The new rule requires that future trustees fulfill at least one service criterion before joining.
