With a light agenda on tap for Monday's meeting of the Marshalltown City Council, various items were unanimously approved, including one pertaining to Fisher Controls.
An OK was given for the company, along with Iowa's Department of Economic Development, to pursue an agreement toward advancing enterprise zone status.
An enterprising category helps businesses or housing developments gain economic utilization, by way of state benefits, in various locations which can make them more competitive with other regions.
"This is an amendment to extend their contract for an additional two years," said Michelle Spohnheimer, director of Housing and Community Development.
In other action, council members approved a resolution for police traffic services between the city and Department Of Public Safety/Governor's Traffic Safety Bureau, as the contract will begin on Oct. 1 and continue through Sept. 30, 2011.
