ORAL PRESENTATIONS 113988 - Tom Hall, 1637 Lafayette, asked what is going on with the taxi services in town, one is going out of business and one is trying to take over. Mr. Hall stated that he would like an opportunity to provide taxi services. Ron Norris, Cedar Terrace, asked about a house at 147 Oakridge Road. Mr Norris stated that he has called the Fire Chief, Mayor Rooff, and Councilpersons Anders and Jordan and has gotten no response. Mr. Norris stated that it is closed up, just sitting there, and he asked what the city can do. Fire Chief Frank Magsamen stated that his department has been working with the company out of Minneapolis. The contents inside of the building are hazardous. Chief Magsamen noted that the property is in litigation, and he has not received written information back from the company. Chief Magsamen stated that the Fire Department has been monitoring the building. Mr. Norris commented that the gentleman said at the time he did the study no one would listen to him, and he said he would be willing to sell the study for $500 per page, and it contains 13 pages. Mayor Rooff stated that we cannot discuss this issue tonight because it is in litigation, but the city will get back with Mr. Norris this week with updated information. David Goodson stated that he represents a group of residents of the Prairie Park Apartments, and he would like the city to respond to the residents. Mayor Rooff stated the city can listen to their concerns, but that HUD controls the apartments, and the city will have to get answers from them. Mr. Goodson stated that he is concerned for the residents because of the conditions they live under, with house rules and the security. Mr. Goodson stated that nowhere else in the city does an apartment complex have a curfew of 11:00 p.m. The management company says its just rules on paper. Mr. Goodson stated that there is no apartment in the city that has a rule that the occupants can only have five visitors per evening and they must be on an approved list. Mr. Goodson stated that he believes this is a violation of their civil rights, and he would like the mayor and council to address these issues. Mayor Rooff stated that he appreciates Mr. Goodson bringing these concerns to the meeting. Mayor Rooff commented that everyone knows how Prairie Parks Apartments was, and all the meetings held and then HUD took over management of the apartments. Lynette Scott, 512 West Dale, stated that she has been a resident at Prairie Parks Apartments for ten years and lived there through the change. Ms. Scott stated that she is for the change, but they need to keep in mind that they are human beings. Ms. Scott stated that they have to be in the building by 11:00 p.m. They were recently sitting outside the building, there were no complaints, but the security guards made them go inside. Ms. Scott stated that the children have to have IDs to play outside. Ms. Scott stated that the guards are constantly standing and huddling over them all the time, and they are being raked over the coals and they don't like getting burned. Ms. Scott stated that she wanted to bring this to the council's attention. Mayor Rooff stated that the city is not providing any police officers at this time, but the city had officers on the site at the beginning but because of federal regulations we had to pull them out. Ms. Scott stated that three to four of the guards are armed, and its been going on since March. Ms. Scott commented that the Waterloo Police Department did a marvelous job. Ms. Scott stated that they voiced their concerns to the management. Ms. Scott stated that they have to sign the HUD lease, including the house rules, by July 13 or be evicted. July 10, 2000 Page 2 ORAL PRESENTATIONS CONTINUED Lenora Culpepper, 500 West Dale, stated that this goes far greater than paper will show. Ms. Culpepper commented that when you deal with people who are aggressive, things get out of hand. Ms. Culpepper stated that there are less than 50 families who want a life where no one is inside their world, they want to feel free to live. Ms. Culpepper stated that don't look at what it was yesterday, but what it is today. Ms. Culpepper stated that they are still being controlled. Mayor Rooff commented that the city is not doing the controlling, and that we need to figure out what is going on. Ms. Culpepper stated that we need to take off the blinders. Ms. Culpepper commented that she sees a world where security guards carry arms when they are not trained properly, and if you jump at them they could pull a gun. Police Captain Tom Jennings stated that state requires a certain number of hours of training and a permit from the Sheriff's office in order to carry a gun. Ms. Culpepper stated that they only have to be 18 years old, not convicted of a felony and take 12 hours of class at Hawkeye Community College on safety. Ms. Culpepper stated that is not enough. Ms. Culpepper stated that she did not have a problem with security at Prairie Parks when there were drugs out there, but now we have people walking around with guns. If someone doesn't step in and say no more, there will be a tragedy. Mayor Rooff stated that the city had no idea the residents were being treated this way. Councilperson Berry stated that she visited with the residents at Prairie Parks on Sunday, and it was peaceful. Hopefully, we can sit down with HUD and rectify this. Councilperson Berry commented that people should not have to live under intimidation. A resident of 427 West Donald stated that she has concerns with the security. She commented that she was arrested and accused of verbal assault. She stated that the guards at Prairie Parks are instructed not to give the residents their names. She stated that her 15 year old grandson was threatened with mace because he went from building to building. Mayor Rooff stated that this will be resolved in a couple of days, and they should not be treated this way. Mayor Rooff stated that he is not sure why this is happening. Tricia Roberts, 1731 Columbia, stated that she is concerned about the security. The security guards bother her kids, questioning them. Ms. Roberts stated that the security guards called DHS and reported child abuse. Ms. Roberts stated that the guards throw pine needles on her kids, and they don't have the right or education to play with her kids. Ms. Roberts stated that she was sitting outside because it was hot and was told to go inside. Mr. Goodson thanked Mayor Rooff for volunteering to help. Mr. Goodson stated that yesterday he met with 25 residents and one-half hour later the security guards congregated by them, but the guards did not do anything. Mr. Goodson stated that he and a representative from the NAACP pulled up in their cars at the same time, and when they got out of their cars, the guards approached them. Mr. Goodson stated it is not necessary to approach everyone. Anna Weems, 635 Independence Avenue, stated that she went to Prairie Parks Apartments this morning, and that Prairie Parks Apartments is a HUD community. Ms. Weems stated that everyone is under guidelines, and there are a lot of security guards playing cops. Ms. Weems stated that they will kill someone out there if this isn't addressed. Ms. Weems stated that Councilpersons Anders and Berry should get together with these residents right away, and Walter Reed should be working with them. Ms. Weems stated that their intentions are good, and they have done some good. Ms. Weems stated that something has been hidden about HUD.
