ORAL PRESENTATIONS
Aaron Roberts, 411 Almond, presented information to the city regarding claims of corruption within
the Waterloo Police Department. Roberts claims included correspondence from the Waterloo and
Urbandale police chiefs regarding his family and recommendations he be committed to a mental
health facility.
Jim Chapman, 224 Bertch, questioned financing for the revisions to the television area in the
Council Chambers using bond money as opposed to using Medicacom franchise fees. Michelle
Weidner responded franchise fees are used for operating expenses including police and fire salaries
as there are limited ways to fund those areas, whereas there is another revenue stream for capital
items and that is why that has been chosen. Chapman also questioned his request for a count for the
Park Avenue Bridge. Mr. Welper stated he would get the information to Mr. Chapman.
John Sherbon, 1715 Robin Road, questioned why departments are being combined, which will cause
a work overload, rather than hiring and replacing people as they leave or retire and how someone can
possibly be hired that is qualified in seven different fields.
David Dryer, 3145 W. 4th Street, questioned public safety camera expense, collections on unpaid
parking tickets and if fines will actually be collected to pay for the camera expense. Dryer would
like to see cameras placed in high crime areas. Mr. Welper stated at this point the Chief is simply
investigating the potential for cameras at no cost to the City.
Todd Obadal, 124 Amity Drive, commented regarding Chapter 7, Parking Residential Areas, Title 6.
Obadal stated if this is a "New" Chapter 7 then there is no ordinance currently in effect regulating
parking and issuing tickets for violations or collecting fees for permits is illegal as there is no
controlling authority in effect. On this premise, Mr. Obadal requested the $100 collected from Ms.
Jolly, 1155 Hawthorne, for an encroachment application be refunded.

that the above oral comments be received and placed on file. Voice vote -Ayes: Seven. Motion

Mr. Morrissey stated his objections to the proposed amendment in that Project No. 248 is a sidewalk
infill project for The Safe Routes to School Program.

Mr. Morrissey commented the infill project was in the Hoover School area.
Mr. Jacobs commented the amendment has merit and expressed his support, as security is a concern
in his ward.
Mr. Morrissey, Mr. Jacobs, Mr. Powers made comments regarding procedures for development of

Mr. Welper commented he believed this is something the council members need to address with the
Mayor.
Mr. Morrissey questioned if the vote could be postponed for a few weeks in order to allow further
review and discussion.
Michelle Weidner, Chief Financial Officer explained this would present problems in the bonding
process as the schedule has already been set. Weidner stated the process started in November to
develop the plan and department heads requested input from council members at that time. Weidner
stated small changes could be made to the project allocations after this is approved.
Noel Anderson, Community Planning Development Director, reviewed the timeline and steps taken
to develop the CIP plan. Anderson suggested Council members address their concerns regarding the
development process with the Mayor or himself for future plans.
Mr. Jacobs asked if the council could consider a follow-up meeting this week and then approve the
CIP.
Mr. Welper explained the Mayor would be out of town all week.
Mr. Lind stated he would be in support of this if there were so kind of promise that small changes
could be looked at regarding reallocating some funds and that he also has some concerns with the
process this year.
Michelle Weidner further addressed the bonding process including timelines, bonding schedules,
interest rates, bond ratings and potential expenses the City would incur if the Plan were not approved
at this meeting.
Mr. Powers requested the process start earlier this year and that the Council be included in the
process as that was not done this year and expressed his support for this year.

requirements and intended use when purchased by the City.

Mr. Dumond stated contamination risk is lower at this site compared to a commercial site as the
employees are specifically trained for handling the products and procedures. He explained this site
has less vapor compared to a commercial site because the connection points are closed and at a
commercial site there are open connections between the nozzle and a vehicle.
Mr. Jacobs thanked Mr. Dumond for his interest in Waterloo and believes Kwik Star has a good
safety record and has proven that this site would produce less, vapor than a commercial site.
Mr. Lind commented, as vapors dissipate rather quickly there's a remote chance of contamination to
farm fields.

precautions.

any leakage or runoff contamination.
Noel Anderson commented regarding the move to the heavy industrial property to avoid residential
properties and that there is one home in the area that the City may want to consider purchasing in the

budgeted as the council had agreed to use restricted health care reserves for some health claims
submitted in order to keep the current taxes lower. Since it was not included in the budget at that
time it now has to be incorporated into the budget via the budget amendment. Liability insurance
claims will also be paid through this amendment.
Mr. Lind asked that the council be provided with a list of healthcare and liability claims submitted
for this year.
Michelle Weidner stated she would provide what information she was allowed to provide regarding
healthcare claims. She further explained bills for claims are included in the resolution bills.

guidelines under his understanding of how hotel/motel taxes are to be used.
Mr. Morrissey stated he is voting yes on the measure, but will need to abstain on the Main Street part
of the item.
Mr. Lind questioned whether Mr. Morrissey needed to abstain from the entire measure or just the

Mr. Morrissey asked that the City Attorney do some research and come back with an answer

Mr. Lind requested the council have a work session to review the 28E agreement prior to approving
this resolution and waiving the conflict of interest agreement.

conflict of interest in that they are working for Hawkeye Community College and that they have also
performed services for the City of Waterloo in the past and continue to work with the City of
Waterloo, which they have a legal obligation to disclose.
Mr. Lind requested council members be copied on drafts of the agreement as they are presented.
Page 17 of 73
April 24, 2017 Page 12
Mr. Zellhoefer agreed that could be done.
Mr. Amos questioned as an employee of Hawkeye Community College if there was an issue with
him voting on this item.
Mr. Zellhoefer responded no.
Mr. Schmitt questioned the timeline of when it would be determined conflict of interest exists.
Mr. Zellhoefer explained they're aware of and are disclosing no that there is a conflict of interest, as
they're required to do but that this is a basic agreement that is beneficial to both parties, so there's no
reason why they should not be allowed to draft the agreement.
Mr. Schmitt questioned if there's a conflict of interest should we get our own attorney for this
agreement.
Mr. Schmitt questioned if this is so simple why we would be using Des Moines attorneys.
Mr. Zellhoefer explained Ahlers and Cooney is representing Hawkeye Community College.
Michelle Weidner addressed the council to explain Ahlers & Cooney are disclosing conflict because
they're doing other work for the City of Waterloo. We have not hired them to draft this agreement,
they were hired by Hawkeye Community College and Mr. Zellhoefer will most likely represent the
City in drafting the agreement. They're required by law to disclose that Waterloo is or has been a
client at one point or another when they're working with another client and have to deal with the
City of Waterloo along with that client. Weidner stated this will save money in that the City and
Hawkeye want the same thing in the end and that our attorney will be reviewing any agreements.
Mr. Lind questioned if Ahlers & Cooney were the Sunnyside South attomeys.
Mr. Zellhoefer responded yes.
Resolution adopted and upon approval by Mayor Pro Tem assigned No. 2017-318.

Page 18 of 73
April 24, 2017 Page 13
Mr. Powers stated Mr. Lind's motion to amend has merit and he supports the motion.
Mr. Schmitt commented the reasoning behind this ordinance was to beautify or clean up the front
areas of the homes, and dictating what a homeowner was doing with or in their back yard within the
law was their business and the motion should be supported.
Mr. Powers commented he agrees with that statement and that any of these ordinances can be
amended at any time if there appears to be problems, violations or issues and he will be supporting
the amendment.
Mr. Welper stated he was on the Council when the International Maintenance Code was adopted and
the building official at that time said addressing parking in the front yard was one thing, but that we
need to stay out of people's back yards.
Kevin Everding, 617 Cambell, questioned if the council was aware there is not a code enforcement
book available to the public for review and the most current one at the library is 2003.
Mr. Welper explained Code enforcement is in the process of completing the revisions to the code as
adopted.
John Sherbon, 1715 Robin Road, commented regarding allowing citizens to make their own choices
on their property instead of passing laws to affect a few and ends up penalizing the masses.

that change order #5 and #6 for a total increase of $3,460, to Lodge Construction of Clarksville,

concrete in the shelter in the event of additional flooding.

Waterloo City Council,
The Screaming Eagle would like to thank the Waterloo City Council for allowing
the closing of Lafayette between 4th and 5th Streets the past eight years. This joint
cooperation between the Council and The Screaming Eagle has been a very good
Thursday night attraction for the City of Waterloo during the summer months.
This trouble free event typically brings up to 1500 people downtown Waterloo.
Again we would like to ask the 2017 Waterloo City Council to grant The
Screaming Eagle permission to place an aluminum fence border as we have in the
past to border the event. This border shall be placed as indicated on the
attached map and include the daily patio area along our building adjacent to 4th
Street with the same dimensions as in the past. This request should include the
same noise variance the Council has granted us in the past from 5pm-11pm every
Thursday night. This request is for every Thursday night May 5, 2017 through
October 27, 2017.
Thank you for your support.

City Council Members
Outlined below is a brief description of the recruitment, interview and selection
process for the Human Resources Director's position;
Recruitment Process
The position was advertised as follows: job notice sent to agencies and
organizations on the City's Affirmative Action List; advertisement placed in the
Sunday Waterloo Courier; advertisement placed with the Iowa League of Cities;
job notice sent directly to all Iowa members of IaPERLA (Iowa Public Employer
Labor Relations Association ); advertisement placed on the national website
and in the various publications of SHRM (Society for Human Resource
Management); job notice placed on the INDEED and Monstor.Com websites.
Although over 50 individuals, from throughout the country, applied for the
position many of them did not meet the minimum requirements as outlined in
the advertisement and job notice.
Interview Process
After a review of the applicants, nine individuals from Georgia, Nebraska,
Colorado, Minnesota and Iowa were offered and accepted an opportunity to
participate in the interview process. An interview panel was established
comprised of the following individuals as voting members: Ron Welper, City
Councilperson & Mayor Pro -Tem; Bev Smith - Associate Superintendent of
Human Resources for the Waterloo School System; Abraham Funchess, Director
of the Waterloo Human Rights Commission; Kelley Felchle, City Clerk; Pat Treloar,
Chief of the Waterloo Fire Department. Jim Rodemeyer, Interim Human
Resources Director served as a non-voting facilitator. The interviews were held
on April 5, 6 and 7. Prior to their interview the applicant from Nebraska and the
applicant from Minnesota dropped out and the Panel interviewed the
remaining seven individuals. The panel conducted a patterned interview
process in which each applicant was asked to respond to the same pre-
selected questions. At the end of each interview, each panelist individually
rated each applicant, using a standard rating form, that required the panelist
to rate the applicants in four areas: Evaluation of Past Work Experience - 45
points possible; Comprehension/Communication/Presentation/ Self -Confidence
- 35 Points possible; Evaluation of Education - 10 points possible; Professional
Growth & Development - 10 points possible. The total score for each applicant
was then divided by the number of panelists and an average score and ranking
was developed. The Mayor was given the results of the interview process,
including information on the top three finalists who had average scores out of
Page 45 of 73
100 points possible of 92.1, 87.9 & 83.28. The candidate, who scored the highest,
Mr. Lance Dunn, was the highest ranked individual by each of the five interview
panelists.
Selection Process
The Mayor re -interviewed the top three applicants and is recommending that
Mr. Dunn, who resides in Waterloo, be appointed as the City Human Resources
Director. Mr. Dunn is currently employed by the University of Northern Iowa. He
previously held Human Resources positions with Tysons/IBP Inc, Nestle Purina,
Eagle Ottawa, the Kellogg Company, and MetoKote Corporation. The pay
range for the Human Resources Director is $78, 000 to $98, 0000 annually and a
job offer has been made to Mr. Dunn to start employment at $84,000 per year.
Each member of the interview panel has indicated they concur with the
Mayor's recommendation and are willing to privately discuss their evaluation of
the applicants.

Recommendation of sale
The City of Waterloo has recently purchased from KWWL a parking lot
directly across the street from their office in the amount of $58,500.00. As
you may recall, KWWL is in the process of doing a historic renovation of
their building at 500 East 4th Street. First Presbyterian Church, which abuts
the parking lot in question, expressed interest to the City that they
would like to purchase the parking lot from the City once acquired from
KWWL. The First United Presbyterian Church has been working on
a renovation of their entire church building and site. As a result of that, their
new main entrance setup and parking lot improvements would be
better served if they acquired this same lot from the City of Waterloo. The
church is offering the $58,500 for the lot, as they do not pay property taxes,
and this would make the sale and conveyance an even slate for the City of
Waterloo.
At the December 12, 2016 Building and Grounds Committee, the committee

Not sell, but keep for development purposes
In going back to the overall goal of the KWWL agreement, the idea was to
redevelop the 1.5 block area surrounding the KWWL building. Originally,
this lot was envisioned as a potential infill commercial lot or perhaps a
brownstone type residential infill site. But the redevelopment can also be
achieved through the continued investment and improvements by the First
United Presbyterian Church working to improve their site, congregational
commitment, and energy into this urban area of the community.
Staff has had several conversations with different developers about the site.
The church also suggested a potential land swap for land behind the church,
but the research by staff did not support that "back lot" having a great deal
of success for redevelopment. This lot has frontage on East 4th Street and
Franklin Street, which increases its viability for reinvestment and interest by
other private developers. So it has redevelopment opportunities.
In the end, staffs recommendation was to support our existing business in
the First United Presbyterian Church. The church is not only offering the
funds to repay the city acquisition, but they are investing funds back into the
church for redevelopment. So this is not only a sale, but a redevelopment
project. They say 75-80% of economic development activity comes from
existing businesses reinvesting in their areas. The church is currently
reinvesting in their site, and we would like to support that action.

R KWWL Parking Lot
Noel,
First Presbyterian Church at the corner of Franklin and Park Ave. would like to
pc, pose a land exchange to the city. We are adding a new elevator and entrance
to he parking lot on the east side of the building. It will make the east parking lot
main entrance to the building. Adjacent to that parking lot is the parking lot
pr, v i.ously owned by KWWL. This lot had been previously owned by the church
ars I sold to KWWL as a favor to the station. The station allowed the church to
u s 0. the parking lot when needed. It is primarily used by the church on Sundays
al id other large church events during the week. We would like to trade land in the
back of the church for that parking lot as it fits perfectly with our new entrance.
A( ached is a site plan showing a potential land exchange.
Vi,2 are concerned with the use of the KWWL parking lot for possible commercial
c r csidential use and feel the land in the back of our church would lend itself to a
:.• i ; cr residential use. It would be across the street from other residents as
or ., o sed to in the middle of businesses.
Cf-u.;rch representatives, including myself, would like to meet with your
do )artment, the mayor or council members to discuss our wishes for this land.
TI . rrks and let me know if you need anything else or when we can meet.

Subject: RE: parking lot
Noel,
We would be interested in purchasing the lot from the city.
ideally we would like the KWWL lot as it sits well with the new entrance. If we get the KWWL lot we would
not need the back lot but would still maintain it, If we do get the lot from the city, we would entertain the idea
of allowing use of the lot for events downtown or at Lincoln Park. I do know the WDC will support the land
swap.
We would also be willing to meet with whomever. Buildings & Grounds, etc. to discuss the various
possibilities.
Thanks for the update.

Jim — we hv ve looked at the Idea of the land swap with our downtown consultant and internally and are not receiving great
feedback c,, the viability of redevelopment of the back part of the lot.
The City Cr-rncil did approve the sale of land under the Sale of Property Policy fast night to a couple for cash. Would the
church be : ':crested in buying the land for what the City just paid for it?
1 am not s::'. frig the swap is not able to move ahead to Building & Grounds, but 1 believe it will be difficult if there is not a
goed chane: for redevelopment of it and no cash.

Noel,
What is Lhc process for purchasing the parking lot next to First Presbyterian Church? We owned it years ago
and out of' courtesy to KW WL sold it to them for their convenience, It was a nice arrangement with them as
they used tt during the day during the week and we could use it at night and on Sundays. We were not privy to
their plan!, o dispose of the lot or we would have purchased it back from them.
Let 111G: len 'w the process as it makes sense for us to maintain it and let others use it when we are not needing the
space.

Terms of Proposal
Bolton & Menlo, Inc.
The accompanying Proposal (hereinafter referred to as "Proposal") is subject to the following terms and
conditions. These Terms of Proposal (hereinafter referred to as "Terms") are an integral part of the Proposal
as if stated directly therein. No change or deviation from these Terms will be binding without the written

speak to Mark Rice. Other Airport CIP requests were approved, while not at the full amount
requested, at least partially.

B. Staff Request for Sale of Annual Airport Parking Permit.
Board reviewed Kaspari's memo regarding the sale of annual parking permits for business use.
Concerns included that permit would be passed around between all employees and for personal
use as well as business; also, that if designated parking area is at the east end of the rental car
lot that it is further away from the terminal building than the regular paid lot, so not a desirable
place to park.
Justis moved, Buzza seconded, that Kaspari move forward with creating an annual parking
permit, while cleaning up the language in the agreement to prevent misuse of the peirriit. Ayes:
3. Motion carried.
C. Progress Update: Design Services for GA Terminal and Hangar No. 5.
Schindel stated that AECOM is finishing design work and possible options were discussed.
Livingston officials are willing to delay some of the work on the GA Terminal in order to have
more funds available to take care of the Hangar 5 roof/gutters. Field stated he wants to make
sure the job is done right and the roof no longer leaks once the work is finished.

Final acceptance of the completed work has been approved by Council, final payments and
project closeouts will be completed this month.
