identifying areas that need repairs. Permits need to be obtained by July 10,
2015 and repairs need to be completed by Friday, July 24, 2015. He also
indicated that citizens can contact the Engineering Department regarding any
extenuating circumstances that may arise.
Dan Trelka, Director of Safety Services, explained that the New Star 3
establishment was vetted as all others are and did meet the criteria for
their recommendation of approval. He was unaware of any specific issues
associated with this establishment but stated that, to be certain, he would
check into it.
Dave Zellhoefer, City Attorney, explained that the City is aware of at least
two separate incidents relating to the illegal sale of Tobacco at
establishment. One incident, sale of Tobacco to a minor, resulted in the
suspension of their license. Another incident involved the sale of Tobacco
to a minor during that suspension. Mr. Zellhoefer stated that there is some
concern with established ownership as well. He recommended erring on the
side of caution when making a decision relating to this permit.

vote -Ayes: Five. Nays: 2 (Schmitt, Lind) Motion carried.
Mr. Schmitt questioned why we put sidewalks in areas where there are sidewalks
when there are areas without sidewalks.
Eric Thorson, City Engineer, explained that the funds are dedicated to this
area. We were able to get funding for three out of five areas that requested
funding.
Mr. Lind noted that he does not believe the transportation funds should be used
for sidewalks so he does not support this item.
Mayor Clark clarified that these funds are set aside specifically for safe
routes to schools projects and, as such, must be used for that purpose. The
city is not allowed to use these funds for anything else. Additionally, they
were awarded specifically for Cunningham School and, therefore, cannot be used
in any other area.
Mr. Hart explained that residents have also worked to put these sidewalks in and
Council has worked for years to provide sidewalks for children to get to school.
Mr. Morrissey noted that these sidewalks go along with the Complete Streets
program and he is in favor of it.

for the refund of construction sales tax paid in conjunction with the
construction of the Cedar Valley SportsPlex to the Waterloo Development
Corporation in an amount not to exceed the total amount received from the state
of Iowa, currently anticipated at $633,800.22", be adopted. Roll call vote -
Ayes: Seven.
Resolution adopted and upon approval by Mayor assigned No. 2015-355.
Michelle Weidner, Chief Financial Officer, explained that Waterloo Development
Corporation is a private corporation and, as such, paid sales tax during the
construction of the Sportsplex building. Ownership of the facility was then
transferred to the City. The City has received the sales tax refund and it is
being recommended that the funds be transferred to Waterloo Development
Corporation to pay down the mortgage on the Sportsplex.
Ms. Cole asked how many paying members the SportsPlex has to date.
Paul Huting, Leisure Services Director, explained that there are 2,033 full
memberships, however, this number is not individual members. He then estimated
the number at 4200-4300 individuals.
144499 - Schmitt/Hart
May 18, 2015
Page 7
that "Resolution awarding and approving contract with Republic Parking System
for parking management services effective July 20, 2015", be adopted. Roll call
vote -Ayes: Seven.
Resolution adopted and upon approval by Mayor assigned No. 2015-356.
Mr. Schmitt questioned the loss of 80% of income to the city if this contract is
approved. He also questioned how this would affect current employees and what
effect any unlisted items might have on the bottom line.
Suzy Schares, City Clerk explained that regardless of whether or not we approve
this contract, we know that major changes are needed to our current parking
situation. If council makes the decision to deny the contract, she believes the
cost for the needed changes would create a much larger loss of income to the
city. She stated that she believes, under this contract, the income to the city
will increase over time. With regards to the effect on current city employees,
Ms. Schares stated that there are some city staff positions that are currently
vacant due to promotions, attrition, etc. These positions would not be filled.
One position has civil service bumping rights and will be able to transfer to
another department. There is a part-time position that will be eliminated. That
employee will be given the opportunity to apply to work for Republic. Lastly,
there is one full-time employee who will be laid off.
Mr. Lind clarified that the services being offered by Republic are an
improvement and the revenues would be used to fund those improved services.
Mr. Morrissey clarified that Republic employs and works with members of
collective bargaining units and there have never been any unfair labor cases
being brought against them.
144500 - Hart/Cole
that "Resolution approving contract with Cedar Bend Humane Society for the
boarding of domestic animals and injured/sick wildlife brought into the Humane
Society by Animal Control officers and Waterloo residents, commencing June 1,
2015, and authorize Mayor and City Clerk to execute said document", be adopted.
Roll call vote -Ayes: Seven.
Resolution adopted and upon approval by Mayor assigned No. 2015-357.
Mr. Schmitt questioned what the estimated revenue is for animal control.
Sandie Greco, Superintendent of Traffic Operations, explained that there will be
microchipping fees, a contract with Cedar Falls, pet licenses, for a total
revenue of $80,000.00. She also indicated that Animal Control will also have the
ability to license animals on the spot. That will save on time and expense and
allow them to more accurately keep Animal Control Records.
Kristy Gardner, Co -Director of Cedar Bend Humane Society, stated that they
generally have a veterinarian on staff to take care of rabies vaccinations, etc.
when caring for and housing the animals picked up by Waterloo Animal Control.
She also indicated that they will have some licensing capabilities as well.
Mr. Schmitt expressed concern with such a large increase.
Sandie Greco stated that, due to the
animals, it has become more
increased
feasible to
costs involved in taking care of
boarding services of the Cedar
means, and the manpower to
would be for us to do it
seek the
Bend Humane Society. They have the facility, the
provide services at or near the same cost as it
ourselves.
Mayor Clark stated that the original budget requested, which included a
considerable increase, reflected the projected costs for us to keep Animal
Control because of the very same increased expenses stated by Ms. Greco. That
budget was ultimately denied by council. He also stated that, in order to
provide better services to our citizens, we are going to have to spend more
money.
Sandie Greco stated that the goal of Animal Control is to educate the citizens
of Waterloo.
Mr. Schmitt expressed appreciation for that goal, however, is still concerned
with the 50% increase in expenses involved.
Sandie Greco recalled that, under the previous contracts the city had with the
Humane Society, for a number of years there were no increases. Over a number of
years, costs for them would go up and they would ultimately have to pass that
increase on to us. She stated that costs would go up whether we perform these
services ourselves or contracted with the Humane Society.
May 18, 2015
Mr. Lind questioned what would be the ultimate burden to the taxpayer.
Page 8
Michelle Weidner, Chief Financial Officer, explained that the burden to the
taxpayer is expected to be less. She also stated that, with previous contracts,
we did not have 24/7 service coverage and with the new contract we will.

Mr. Schmitt questioned the exact reason for this change order.
Mayor Clark stated that the increase would be covered under our business risk
insurance policy and was to cover the exact costs of restoration due to
vandalism which occurred at these areas.
Eric Thorson, City Engineer, clarified that this is our property that was
vandalized for which we have insurance with a $50,000.00 deductible. Since the
cost was less than than deductible we simply have to pay it.
ORAL PRESENTATIONS
Jim Chapman, 224 Bertch, questioned if there is a shortage in the TIF District
and if the City is bonding to cover the shortage.
Michelle Weidner, Chief Financial Officer, explained that there are some bonds
being issued for projects and only the TIF increments will pay for those bonds.
Dwayne Filers, 1205 1/2 Bishop Ave., expressed concern with Susan Vaughn
ticketing him for vehicles being parked on his property.
Mayor Clark stated that Mr. Filers was the deed holder of the property in
question and encouraged him to contact the state if he wished to do so. Mayor
Clark also stated that no ticket was issued just a notification of what needed
to be remedied on that property.
May 18, 2015 Page 9
Forest Dillavou, 1725 Huntington Road, asked for the City to receive the corner
lot located at Edison Elementary, previously used as a playground. He believes
that this lot would be ideal for a neighborhood park for children and families
to utilize.
Paul Huting, Leisure Services Director, explained that the City could havc
potentially develop a park on the lot currently received by the city where the
bare football field is now located. He also stated that the city will eventually
own all of the property located at the Edison Elementary site and no final plans
have been set for how that property will be used.
Mr. Morrissey questioned, since no effective date was set by council, when the
roadside memorial ordinance would go into effect.
Suzy Schares, City Clerk, stated that, if no date is set by council, the
ordinance goes into effect 10 days after it is published.
