PUBLIC HEARINGS
145593 - Schmitt/Welper
that proof of publication of notice of public hearing on Adoption of the FY 2018-2022 Capital
Improvements Program for the City of Waterloo, as published in the Waterloo Courier on June 16,
2017, be received and placed on file. Voice vote -Ayes: Six. Motion carried.
June 26, 2017 Page 7
This being the time and place of public hearing, the Mayor called for written and oral comments.
Jim Chapman, 224 Bertch, questioned if the CIP money will be used for the convention center.
Noel Anderson, Community Planning and Development Director, explained that bond funds would
be used as a grant to Leslie Hospitality as incentives in the project.
Mayor Hart explained that it was either using the bond funds now, or the city would need to come up
with approximately $6 million in the future in order to get the return on investment.
David Dreyer, 3145 W. 4th Street, commented he does not understand why the city would sell the
property for one dollar yet still pay for the improvements.
Mayor Hart explained that he would prefer to have these discussions during the public hearing for
the sale of the convention center. Currently the convention center does not have to pay property
taxes. The city would need to raise taxes and bond even more in order to fund repairs. He further
explained that he recently had a phone call from an individual who stated that if the city does not do
something about the convention center they would take their business elsewhere.
Todd Obadal, 124 Amity Drive, questioned the financial benefit to the city for the sale of the
convention center.
145594 - Schmitt/Welper
that the hearing be closed and oral comments be received and placed on file. Voice vote -Ayes: Six.
Motion carried.
145595 - Schmitt/Welper
that "Resolution adopting the FY 2018-2022 Capital Improvements Program", be adopted. Roll -call
vote -Ayes: Six. Motion carried.
145596 - Lind/Schmitt
To amend by earmarking $25,000 for community policing public safety cameras. Roll -call vote -
Ayes: Five. Nays: One (Welper). Motion carried.
Mayor Hart questioned where the funds would come from.
Mr. Lind explained that there are three locations where crime is high and cameras could be placed in
those locations.
Dan Trelka, Chief of Police, explained that this is the result of a meeting with Mr. Schmitt, Mr.
Amos, and Mr. Lind.
Mr. Amos explained that a citizen called with concerns and set up a meeting with Chief Trelka and
the topic of cameras came up. He further explained that cameras would help track crime in some
locations and that if there is a way to feasibly make this happen he supports it.
Mr. Powers questioned if staff had been asked where money may come from and if dollars could be
moved around.
Mr. Lind explained that it would be up to staff to identify the funds.
Mr. Powers questioned if $50,000 would be enough to get the project moving.
Mr. Amos commented that one issue that came up was whether or not the infrastructure exists to get
the project moving.
Mr. Morrissey commented that the CIP program has been in front of council and staff for months
and questioned if this is possible or if it could come out of the operating budget for public safety. He
further questioned if revenue from red light cameras could be used to put safety cameras in place.
June 26, 2017
Page 8
Mayor Hart commented that there is an apparent need to address the concern for public safety and
further acknowledged the challenges of implementation.
Dan Trelka explained that what is needed has not yet been identified.
Mayor Hart commented that there is a perception that the project is not moving forward fast enough.
Mr. Welper explained that typically the CIP program requests are already larger than available funds
and therefore does not support any last minute requests for change.
Mr. Lind stated a meeting was held last week and a legitimate immediate need was identified at that
time.
Mayor Hart stated that public safety is an important discussion to have.
Sandie Greco, Interim Public Works Director, explained that currently, a consultant engineering firm
is working on getting the infrastructure up to speed and that a work session could be held in a couple
of weeks to provide an update.
Mayor Hart requested clarification on the process.
Sandie Greco provided clarification and explained a detailed map of the project is available.
Mayor Hart questioned if a task force is set up to look at crime. He further commented that the task
force needs to be assembled and the Public Safety Committee needs to meet get the project moving
more aggressively.
Mr. Schmitt stated he has a call in to Mediacom to see if they can help with the infrastructure.
Mayor Hart commented that part of the challenge is to figure out how much the cost would be.
Mr. Powers commented that everyone on council is concerned and cares about public safety and that
money within the program can be moved at any time and would like to give staff the opportunity to
review and make this issue a priority.
Mayor Hart commented that if there was a place to identify funds it would be in the CIP.
Michelle Weidner, Chief Financial Officer, explained that the bonds for CIP have already been sold
and that the details for the project are not worked out. The city could do a reallocation hearing and
that council should tell the staff what project should be rearranged in the CIP.
Noel Anderson noted that staff would need to know what the project looks like and would need to
stay within a bonding group. He explained that Police has funding allocated in the CIP and if they
would chose to not get a new vehicle, for example, they could afford the cameras.
Mayor Hart questioned if there was an estimate of the cost for cameras.
Dan Trelka stated he does not have an estimate at this time.
Mr. Lind questioned the cost of the portable cameras.
Dan Trelka explained there are currently several units which are moved around to various spots, and
estimates that maintenance costs is approximately $5,000 per year if not more.
Mayor commented that approximately $25,000 could be a possible compromise to the proposed
amendment of $50,000.
Mr. Lind commented that $25,000 would be acceptable and asked that his motion be changed.
Mr. Morrissey commented that he would like to have something in front of him to help him
understand where the funding would come from.
June 26, 2017 Page 9
Mayor Hart questioned if this would need to come back before council for a vote.
Michelle Weidner explained that it would depend on the amount of the purchase. If the cost is more
than $25,000, it would need to go to council for vote but if it is less than it would go to Finance
Committee.
Mr. Amos questioned if this would bind them to using CIP funds.
Mr. Lind clarified that he does want to make a change to the CIP fund to allow for this important
public safety concern.
Mayor Hart explained that a compromise from $50,000 to $25,000 has been made and the
appropriate task force will work with Chief Trelka on the details, then return to council through a
work session to present their findings before ending with either the Finance Committee or Regular
Session for a final vote.
Mr. Schmitt commented that he believes residents of church row would most likely receive a camera
and that this is a quick fix to a long process.
Mr. Morrissey explained that he appreciate the Police Department's efforts to lower violent crime in
the neighborhood and would like to know what program would receive a reduction.
Mayor Hart explained that the city would potentially need to do a reallocation hearing so council
would know where the cut is coming from.
Resolution adopted and upon approval by Mayor assigned No. 2017-497.
