HEARINGS
Page 4 •
123607 - Welper/Gunderson
that proof of publication of notice of public hearing on request of Diane
Latusick with Lil' Jimmy O's Donut Shop for a minor site plan amendment to the
"S-1" Shopping District for property generally located near the northwest corner
of Ridgeway Avenue and Kimball Avenue for the location of a 8' x 14' temporary
trailer, as published in the Waterloo Courier on May 19, 2006, be received and
placed on file. Ayes: Six. Absent: Kincaid. Motion carried.
123608 - This being the time and place of public hearing, the Mayor called for written
and oral objections and there were none.
Welper/Schmitt
that the hearing be closed. Ayes: Six. Absent: Kincaid. Motion carried.
123609 - Councilperson Getty asked if this meets the state's requirements for a mobile
concession trailer. Don Temeyer, Community Planning & Development Director,
responded they will have to meet the Health Department's requirements in order
to get their restaurant or license and that is a separate process. Mr. Temeyer
stated what we are doing tonight is deciding whether the physical location of
the trailer can go there.
Councilperson Getty asked how long is temporary. Mr. Temeyer responded probably
for the summer time, but we can make that specific in this situation.
Diane Latusick, 1203 Indiana Avenue, Hazelton, Iowa, stated it will be used for
the weekends, Saturday and Sunday. Councilperson Getty asked if water would be
connected to the trailer. Ms. Latusick responded it has its own water
containment, so she doesn't need a hose outside, and it is an all contained
unit. Councilperson Getty noted it is his understanding that the state
requirement is that the unit must be taken home every couple of days. Ms.
Latusick responded that it has to be removed every third day, and then it can
come back. Ms. Latusick stated she will be hooked to electricity, and she has
already been approved by the Health Department.
Councilperson Getty stated he is totally opposed to this type of operation in
the city. There have been several of them sitting around that have been there
for years, and it is hard to control them, it is hard for the Health Department
to catch up with them. Councilperson Getty stated he doesn't think it is
sanitary to leave the trailer sitting there. Councilperson Getty stated they
don't pay taxes when businesses inside a building have to pay property taxes,
and these mobile units don't have to do that and he is totally opposed to this
request.
Councilperson Greenwood stated he feels the same as Councilperson Getty when we
talk about the transient merchant license. Councilperson Greenwood stated for
the people who put a stake in the ground, rent a facility, employ people, pay
property taxes, he just feels it is an unfair advantage to have a temporary
business come in during the summer versus the people who are here in business.
Councilperson Greenwood stated he does not support this.
Mayor Hurley stated he presumes an operation like this can't just park where it
wants to but has to seek permission from the property owner, which in this case
is a shopping mall, and they are an amenity to draw people in and maybe visit
the rest of the stores making them more viable.
Councilperson Gunderson stated last year there was a stand on Kimball Avenue and
another one at Crossroads and asked if they had to go through the same process
when they set up. Mr. Temeyer stated you wouldn't need this process if it
wasn't a "S-1" Shopping Center District area. In a "C-2" area there are the
corn sellers who have to get their permits, but are allowed as long as the
property owners permits them to have a temporary vegetable stand. Mr. Temeyer
commented the stand located there last summer did not go through this process
but should have. Councilperson Gunderson stated they just showed up there on
the site and started doing their business. Mr. Temeyer stated the property
owner probably gave them permission, but they should have gone through the minor
site plan amendment.
Councilperson Welper stated he feels the more diversity we have, the better it
is. Councilperson Welper stated someone is paying taxes and if they can help
that property owner pay the taxes, he doesn't see a problem with it.
Councilperson Schmitt stated these types
Councilperson Schmitt stated the market
to be, they are regulated by the Health
them as long as they go through the site
of businesses are after a niche market;
determines how long temporary is going
Department, and he sees no problem with
plan amendment like this one.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS
123612 - Getty/Schmitt
that communication from Associate Engineer transmitting recommendation of award

conjunction with F.Y. 2006 San Marnan Drive Traffic Improvements - Phase III,
Contract No. 702, be received, placed on file and "Resolution approving award of

Resolution adopted and upon approval by Mayor assigned No. 2006-468.
123613 - Getty/Schmitt
that communication from Building Official/Maintenance Administrator transmitting

Controls, Inc. in conjunction with Five Sullivan Brothers Convention Center
Mechanical Upgrade, Phase II, be received, placed on file and "Resolution
approving award of said contract", be adopted.
Prior to a vote on the above motion, the following comments were heard.
Councilperson Gunderson stated he will vote no on this item, it has nothing to
do with Johnson Controls, Inc. as a company or their product. Councilperson
Gunderson noted he talked to a number of people this week and Johnson Controls'
product is comparable to anything else out there. Councilperson Gunderson
stated his problem goes back to March 8, 2005 when Johnson Controls submitted a
proposal for $360,925.00 to do this work. At that time, they did not bid on the
project. In the meantime, they did submit one bill for $29,000.00 towards this
project, which the city paid. After that, it came out there was going to be a
bid process, and now Johnson Controls has revised their bid by $65,000.00 down
to $275,951.00 to do the same project. Councilperson Gunderson stated he has a
hard time believing this company was basically takingadvantage of the situation
when they first got the work from the city. Councilperson Gunderson stated
there are four other buildings that the city will be working on in the near
future to upgrade, and he hopes the city goes out for bids on all of them so the
city has a true and accurate price on them. Councilperson Gunderson stated he
is putting everybody on notice if there are any change orders that come before
him, he will not vote yes on any change orders for this project. Councilperson
Gunderson stated this company is suppose to be experts in this area, they have
had plenty of time to work on the system and know the information.
Councilperson Gunderson noted there is a tendency after a bid goes out that we
keep getting change orders on projects that keep raising the prices.
Councilperson Gunderson stated he will not accept any change orders on this
project.
Councilperson Greenwood echoed Councilperson Gunderson's frustration.
Todd Davis, Johnson
contract between the
Doyle acting in the
created based on the
Controls, Inc., stated the first item was a negotiated
city, Gilmore & Doyle and Johnson Controls, with Gilmore &
interest of the city. Mr. Davis stated the project was
information Johnson Controls knew of the facility, and they
created a business case for that project. At that time, Johnson Controls was
not aware of the change in the state law requiring a formal bid process. Mr.
Davis stated they weren't trying to circumvent the process or the law, they just
didn't know that was the case.
June 5, 2006
Unfinished Business continued
Mr. Davis stated they negotiated the work, it was about $360,000.00; and the
city did not pay them $29,000.00, it was $19,000.00. Mr. Davis stated he was
present the day the council rescinded the contract, and Mayor Hurley asked him
if the city should rescind the contract, and he responded based on the
information he knew then, he thought that was something the city should do. Mr.
Davis stated there was a lawsuit in Polk County in Des Moines where the
contractor loss because it was a negotiated opportunity that should not have
been negotiated, but should have been put out to bid. Mr. Davis stated state
law clearly says that any improvement, and there is a portion of the law you can
argue whether the word is a verb or noun, and that was the basis of the law
suit, and it went all the way to the Supreme Court. Mr. Davis stated the bottom
line is any improvement over $25,000.00 has to be bid out. Mr. Davis stated
from this point forward any opportunities that Johnson Controls is involved
with, if they exceed $25,000.00, they will not negotiate with the city because
it has to be bid out. Mr. Davis stated as far as change orders, the request for
proposal was slightly different from the negotiated opportunity for $360,000.00.
In the business case for that opportunity, there was energy savings and also an
energy credit. What Johnson Controls does in a lot of their opportunities with
city, state, county and federal governments is they have a portion they call
measurement verification. Mr. Davis noted the State of Iowa does not have
performance contracting, but in every other state surrounding Iowa there is
legislation that allows for performance contracting. Performance contracting
allows Johnson Controls to come in, and if there is an opportunity they will
upgrade a facility and they will guarantee the outcome. In the original
opportunity the payback was 5.2 or 5.6 years, and if this were any other state
Johnson Controls would guarantee that, if they were wrong they would issue a
check, but in Iowa that is not legal because they have not passed that
legislation. Mr. Davis stated what they had planned to do with this opportunity
is do what Johnson Controls calls measurement and verification and bring a
performance specialist in, who would study the energy bills, who would look at
the consumption and who would verify, but in this case Johnson Controls cannot
guarantee but would verify the city is receiving the estimates they put together
in their original project and original scope. Mr. Davis stated measurement
verification was not included in this RFP, so Johnson Controls pulled it out of
this proposal. Mr. Davis stated the original amount was for about $360,000.00,
Johnson Controls put forth a bill for $30,000.00, he talked with Jim Walsh and
it was reduced to about $19,900.00, and at that point when the measurement
verification was pulled out over the five year period, Johnson Controls came in
at $275,951.00. Mr. Davis stated as far as change orders, they absolutely stand
behind their bid of $275,951.00.
Page 6
Councilperson Schmitt stated he feels the city should allow change orders
because he likes to see the costs go down. Councilperson Schmitt stated we are
talking about replacing 30 year old mechanicals for a quarter of a million
dollars and there are going to be unforeseen pluses and minuses that the city
will have to deal with as they occur.
Following comments a vote was taken on the above motion with the following
result. Ayes: Four. Nays: Gunderson, Greenwood. Absent: Kincaid.
Resolution adopted and upon approval by Mayor assigned No. 2006-469.

Councilperson Getty asked if they are going to leave that as an alley, or will
that be for their use only. Don Temeyer, Community Planning & Development
Director, responded at the present time they are planning on letting the alley
connect into Walgreen's parking lot, so there is ingress and egress. Mr.
Temeyer stated they will provide an easement for people to have a right to drive
through their parking lot to get to the alley. Councilperson Getty noted the
alley could not go onto Logan Avenue, and it currently goes toward Donald
Street. Councilperson Getty stated there are three or four houses that are

Prior to a vote on the above motion, the following comments were heard.
Don Temeyer, Community Planning & Development Director, reported they are
requesting that the city -owned property on the western side of the airport be
released from the airport inscription that was included in the FAA grants over
the past several years. Mr. Temeyer stated that way the land can be used for
future development and allow access off of Lone Tree Road from the west. Mr.
Temeyer commented this has been part of the MidPort development plans for
several years. Mr. Temeyer stated there is an existing contract for $15,000.00
with Earth Tech, and the FAA has requested the city do an archaeological study
of the farm land, although no one believes they will actually find any evidence
of archaeological evidence because it has been farmed for so many years. Mr.
Temeyer noted this will still be City of Waterloo property, and it will still be
used as airport farming land until there would be a future economical project.

of the cost is paid by the Lead grant and part is paid by city G.O. Bond funds,
and he asked how many houses does the city have to do. Councilperson Greenwood
stated he thought when the city started doing these that the whole abatement was
paid by the Lead grant.
Rudy Jones, Community Development Director, responded that the Lead grant
requires a local match, some of which is paid out of the Block Grant account.
Mr. Jones stated there are also some projects that come up for consideration
that are specifically recommended by the Black Hawk County Health Department as
referrals because of the immediate need to address some of those. Mr. Jones
stated that last fall the council approved G.O. Bonds to match the Lead grant.
Mr. Jones stated he does not have a specific number, but they roll over into the
total number of units they are trying to complete, which is 120. Mr. Jones
stated when the Black Hawk County Health Department has a case where kids are in

ORAL PRESENTATIONS
123641 - Gene Geiger, 1537 Oakwood Drive and owner of Quality Tire, stated he processes
scrapped tires and has been doing that for about a year. Mr. Geiger stated he
contacted Tim Shea, and he has had a contract with the city to do the tires. On
May 5, 2006, he was told he could not take the tires to the Landfill anymore,
and he is here tonight to solicit business. Mr. Geiger stated as he talked with
Councilperson Getty, this is one way to come to the council with a proposal.
Mr. Geiger stated the Landfill wants to charge him $262.00 per ton for the same
thing he was paying $33.00 per ton just a week ago. Mr. Geiger stated if the
city is taking any scrapped tires to the Landfill, they might want to take the
tires to his place at 1671 Sycamore Street, and he can do it for half the price
the Landfill is wanting to charge him.
Mayor Hurley asked Mr. Geiger to submit a proposal to his office.
Mr. Geiger reported the Solid Waste Commission voted to ban cut tires on May 25,
2006, and he got a hold of Councilperson Getty who was unaware that he was
cutting tires. Mr. Geiger stated he is willing to turn this into a win/win
situation for him and the city.
Mayor Hurley again asked Mr. Geiger to submit a written proposal to the city.
Councilperson Getty reported the Solid Waste Commission voted to not take cut
tires at the Landfill because they don't dissolve or compact. The Solid Waste
Commission decided not to fill the landfill, but provide another means of
getting rid of the cut tires Mr. Geiger takes to the Landfill. Councilperson
Getty stated Mr. Geiger now has a way to get rid of the cut tires. Councilperson
Getty suggested Mr. Geiger submit a written proposal to Mayor Hurley or Tim Shea
and then it will go through the steps and be submitted to the council for
approval or denial. Mayor Hurley commented that Mr. Geiger can send the
proposal to him.

not live at the Cedar Rivers Towers, please do not use their parking lots.
