The Iowa City City Council will consider a resolution Tuesday authorizing the city manager to sign a grant agreement with the Environmental Protection Agency to plan for the modification of the Burlington Street dam.

The EPA recently awarded the city a $60,000 grant to enhance the safety of the dam, increase its recreational use, and help the environment, according to city documents.

The city councilors will consider the resolution at their next meeting, July 10.
