CLINTON, Iowa – Sterling businessman Matt Prescott, owner of Candlelight Inn restaurants in Sterling, Rock Falls, Peoria and Clinton, soon also may be Clinton’s marina and RV park operator.

After Prescott presented a proposal to City Council members Tuesday, they agreed to have the city attorney negotiate his proposal to run the city-owned marina and RV park, Prescott said.

The proposal calls for the city to pay $120,000 a year for insurance, part-time wages and a marina manager. The contract term would be 5 years and the city would be able to terminate the contract if it isn’t satisfied with the service.
