Clive council approves Coopers Hawk alcohol license 4-0; Alice's Road items await published minutes

The Clive City Council approved a retail alcohol sales license application for Coopers Hawk at 12801 University Avenue during a special session on October 5, 2026. All four council members present voted in favor, a 4-0 tally recorded in the official minutes.

That license is the only item in the past two weeks of meeting records confirmed as decided. The other meetings in that stretch — a Planning and Zoning Commission session and a City Council meeting — are documented only by their agendas, with minutes not yet published. What follows distinguishes what was settled from what was scheduled.

Coopers Hawk license

The council's October 5 special session took up a single listed action: the retail alcohol sales license application for Coopers Hawk at 12801 University Avenue. The motion carried 4-0 among the four members present.

Planning and Zoning: Shadow Creek West Plat 2, Mister Carwash

The Planning and Zoning Commission met October 6, 2026 at 5:30 PM at 1900 NW 114th Street, in person and via Zoom. Agenda items included approval of the meeting minutes from 09/01/2026, a final plat for Shadow Creek West Plat 2, a site plan amendment for 8727 University Avenue (Mister Carwash), and an Urban Renewal Plan Amendment. The agenda also listed a presentation and discussion on a Parking Ordinance Update, followed by a staff report and adjournment.

The supplied record does not include the commission's actions on any of these items. Agenda placement is not a decision, and no outcome is reported here.

Council agenda: Alice's Road Phase 4 hearing and pay requests

The City Council's October 8, 2026 agenda listed a public hearing for the Alice's Road Improvements Phase 4 project, including land acquisition. Also listed:

• A pay request for Alice's Road Reconstruction Phase 1B: $359,483.76
• Purchase of a police patrol car from Stew Hansen Dodge: $44,114.00
• Acquisition of 2759 W Avenue, Waukee, Iowa for Alice's Road Reconstruction
• A public hearing setting for the sale of General Obligation Urban Renewal Bonds, Series 2026B

These are agenda items. Minutes from the October 8 meeting have not been published in the supplied record, so whether the council acted on any of them, and by what vote, is not established here. The dollar figures above are the amounts as listed on the agenda; they are not confirmed payments or final contract values.

Building Codes Appeal Board cancelled

The Building Codes Appeal Board's regular meeting scheduled for October 15, 2026 was cancelled due to a lack of an agenda. No items were listed.

Coming up

• **Board of Adjustment, October 20, 2026** — cancelled due to a lack of an agenda.

That is the only upcoming meeting in the supplied records for the next 14 days. Residents should check the city's official meeting calendar and posted agendas for any additions or changes before attending.

A note on this roundup: where minutes have not been published, this article reports only what was scheduled, not what was decided. The linked official agendas and minutes are the authoritative record.

Clive council approves Coopers Hawk alcohol license; Alice's Road items await published minutes

The Clive City Council approved a retail alcohol sales license application for Coopers Hawk at 12801 University Avenue at a special session on October 5, 2026. All four council members present voted in favor — a 4-0 tally recorded in the official minutes.

That vote is the only decision in the past two weeks that the records supplied for this roundup show as final. Two other recent meetings — the Planning and Zoning Commission on October 6 and a City Council meeting on October 8 — are represented by agendas only. Minutes for those meetings have not been published, so what those bodies ultimately did is not established by the available record.

Coopers Hawk license approved 4-0

The council's action covers a retail alcohol sales license application for Coopers Hawk at 12801 University Avenue. The minutes record four council members present and a 4-0 vote in favor. The record provided does not include the terms, conditions, or discussion attached to the license.

Planning and Zoning Commission, October 6

The commission was scheduled to meet at 5:30 PM at 1900 NW 114th Street, in person and via Zoom. Its agenda listed action on:

• Approval of the meeting minutes from 09/01/2026
• Final Plat — Shadow Creek West Plat 2
• Site Plan Amendment — 8727 University Avenue — Mister Carwash
• Urban Renewal Plan Amendment

The agenda also listed a presentation and discussion on a Parking Ordinance Update, followed by a staff report and adjournment. Because minutes are not yet published, this roundup does not report outcomes for any of these items.

City Council, October 8

The council's October 8 agenda listed a public hearing on the Alice's Road Improvements Phase 4 project and related land acquisition. Also listed:

• Pay request for Alice's Road Reconstruction Phase 1B: $359,483.76

• Acquisition of 2759 W Avenue, Waukee, Iowa, for Alice's Road Reconstruction
• Public hearing setting for the sale of General Obligation Urban Renewal Bonds, Series 2026B

These are agenda items, not recorded decisions. The dollar figures are as written on the agenda. A pay request is a request for payment on work already under way, not a total project cost, and the record provided does not show whether the council approved it or any other item on the list.

Coming up

Two scheduled meetings in the next two weeks have been cancelled:

• The Building Codes Appeal Board meeting set for October 15, 2026, was cancelled due to a lack of an agenda.
• The Board of Adjustment meeting set for October 20, 2026, was cancelled for the same reason.

No other upcoming meetings appear in the records provided for the next 14 days. Agendas and minutes, once published, are the authoritative record of what each body decides.
