UNFINISHED BUSINESS 125949 - Getty/Gunderson that "Resolution approving the bid from Bill Colwell Ford of Hudson, Iowa in the amount of $160,790.00 for seven 2008 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor Police Cars", be adopted. Prior to a vote on the above motion, the following comments were heard. Councilperson Gunderson stated this issue has been brought before the council on other occasions going back to January 2004. On January 16, 2004 Mr. Walsh gave council a draft to change the policy to give preference to our local businesses. Councilperson Gunderson noted that Dubuque and Des Moines offer preferences to local vendors, and he thinks Waterloo should also offer a local preference. Councilperson Gunderson stated he thinks we should give our local vendors preference, especially on an item this high. Councilperson Gunderson noted that local businesses run their businesses in Waterloo, pay taxes and have employees, and he thinks we have some obligation to buy from them if they are within a reasonable distance, and this is a little bit under 3 percent of a difference from Stivers' bid. Mayor Hurley asked if in seconding the motion if Councilperson Gunderson was saying that Hudson would be considered local. Councilperson Gunderson responded that he considers Hudson a local dealer, and the policy written by Mr. Walsh indicates any business in Black Hawk County or a radius would be considered a local dealer. Councilperson Gunderson stated his employees live in Waterloo, they shop in Waterloo, they travel to Waterloo, and he considers Mr. Colwell a part of the family of the Cedar Valley. Councilperson Gunderson stated he feels we should treat our Cedar Valley vendors with some type of compensation for their business, their service over the years and that is why he is saying Hudson should be a part of the city's policy. • • • • September 24, 2007 Unfinished Business continued Councilperson Schmitt noted that there is lots of information on local preference, but his concern is that it says that we may give local vendors preference. Councilperson Schmitt stated in this case, and it is the same thing that happened back in January, it was a little over $200,000.00. State bid goes out and all the local dealers know what the state bid is, all they have to do is underbid the state bid by one cent and they get the contract. This is a case where we are dealing with an automotive dealer that if they are going to fill out the paperwork, they are going to put the order into Ford and they are going to deliver the cars. It makes no difference if its Bill Colwell Ford or if its the state bid recipient, which is Stivers Ford in Waukee, Iowa. The difference here is why should we spend $4,753.00 when we don't have to. The bid from Bill Colwell Ford is 3.05 percent over the low bid, Witham's bid was 3.07 percent over, with Stivers Ford's bid of $156,037.00. So its a case of we are going to be spending $4,753.00 for nothing. Page 3 Councilperson Welper commented if council really wants to make this local that for $35.00 more than they could have it in Waterloo. Councilperson Gunderson stated he talked to Mr. Colwell previously, and he does run a car lot in Waterloo and he does own property in Waterloo. Mark Rice, Superintendent of Central Garage, explained it is his position to offer the lowest responsible bid and leave it to the council to make the decision. Mayor Hurley stated so there is no advantage with any of those bidders in terms of delivery prices, and Mr. Rice responded that was correct. Mayor Hurley asked if Waukee has the cars on hand in their inventory, and Mr. Rice responded he could not speak to that question. Forest Dillavou, 1725 Huntington Road, stated he feels that since there is not a preference policy, and the gentleman who bid on them didn't know council had a local preference and now council is going to throw something in that is not fair to him. Maybe if he had known there was a 3 percent local preference he would have bid lower. Mr. Dillavou stated each time council does things like give local preference or not take the lowest bidder, they are discouraging bids and bids are what save the taxpayers money. Mr. Dillavou noted that council is about to give away $4,753.00 of taxpayers' money, its not the council's money, its the taxpayers' money, and he thinks council needs to save money for the taxpayers anytime they can. Councilperson Welper noted that long before Mayor Hurley and he came on the council there has been this same discussion. Every week that he has been on the council for the past six years something goes through the finance committee or it goes before council, which we always take low bid. Councilperson Welper stated he doesn't know why every time the council deals with squad cars or with some large piece of equipment we seem to want to change policy. We take low bid on everything else, and he doesn't know why we want to change for this, it just doesn't make sense to him. Councilperson Welper stated we talk about setting a policy for our local businesses, we have a policy its called low bid, that is the city's policy. We create controversy when we don't take low bid, we create the controversy by not taking low bid, we bring it on ourselves. Low bid is low bid. Councilperson Cole called for the question. A vote was taken on the above motion with the following result. Ayes: Three. Nays: Kincaid, Welper, Cole, Schmitt. Motion failed. 125950 - Schmitt/Cole that communication from Superintendent of Central Garage transmitting recommendation of award of contract in the amount of $156,037.00 to Stivers Ford of Waukee, Iowa in conjunction with the purchase of Seven 2008 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor Police Cars, 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. • • • • September 24, 2007 Documents continued Councilperson Greenwood asked what is the timeline and what is the amount of moneys we will need to complete the demolition and redevelopment of the Chamberlain site. Page 5 Don Temeyer, Community Planning & Development Director, responded that he expects the project to start by next spring, and it should take a few months to finish the first phase of the demolition. The estimate, including city money of $150,000.00, is around $435,000.00. We have to start removing the asbestos so the engineers are working on how much of the southern portions of the plant's roofs have collapsed. Mr. Temeyer stated it will be somewhere between $1 to $2 million total cost to completely remove the site. Chamberlain Corporation is in Chicago, and they are responsible for the mediation. The EPA is working with Chamberlain so they could remove the footings because that is in the contaminated mediation area. This is just to start doing the upper portions of the building.

R.) for CDBG and June 30, 2007 to Development, be of said report", Prior to a vote on the above motion, the following comments were heard. Nancy Gulick, Community Development Coordinator, explained that HUD requires Community Development to have a 15 -day comment period, which was from September 1, 2007 through September 15, 2007. There are a few free copies available for the public at the Community Development office. Before they were available at the Library and the City Clerk's office.

Prior to a vote on the above motion, the following comments were heard. Councilperson Greenwood asked what would be the timeline of when some of this property would be up for demolition or how long do we have to wait. Don Temeyer, Community Planning & Development Director, responded we are starting the process of advertising. The city continues to show the Rath Administration building to potential developers. The problem usually is that it is so large they don't have a real use for it so the cost of renovating is too risky for them. Mr. Temeyer reported that on October 2, 2007 they are going to have a brainstorming session on development of the administration building. If the city does not have someone actively seeking it for development by March 31, 2008, we will go ahead and proceed for demolition of the site as it has to be completed by September 30, 2008. We also will be looking for an extension to give ourselves more time, but it is statutory so that requires congressional approval. Mr. Temeyer noted that the $425,000.00 BEDI grant expires on September 30, 2008, which might not do all of it so we could do a partial, and the city will be looking at our options as we continue to get to the demolition portion. Mr. Temeyer explained that the city acquired the property from the Rath bankruptcy in about 1985. Mr. Temeyer stated that the city hoped once the new bridge was done we would get more activity. We have people look at it, and we will continue to try to get it redeveloped because that is what everybody has been trying to do for a long time. Councilperson Cole asked if there has been any estimates on what it would cost to fix just what is wrong. Mr. Temeyer responded the cost of renovation and doing all the things is about $100.00 a square foot, so you are talking about $7.5 million to make it a brand new building with an old shell. There is no central heating as it was heated by the Rath power plant, which is gone now so you pretty much start over. Following comments a vote was taken on the above motion with the following result. Ayes: Seven Resolution adopted and upon approval by Mayor assigned No. 2007-824. 125962 - Cole/Schmitt that communication from City Planner transmitting Development Agreement with Menard, Inc. for construction of $7 million, 162,340 ft. retail store with lumber yard and warehouse generally located north of Logan Plaza, with ten year tax rebatements due to Menard Inc.'s investment of new road, outlots, store and traffic light improvements to Heath Street, be received, placed on file and "Resolution approving said agreement", be adopted and Mayor and City Clerk authorized to execute same. Prior to a vote on the above motion, the following comments were heard. • • • • September 24, 2007 Documents continued Page 7 Councilperson Kincaid stated he is very elated that we are at this point to start construction with a new Menards in the Logan Plaza area. It is something that he has been pushing, pushing, pushing ever since he has been on the council. He is just elated at this point, and he thinks many people in his area and Councilperson Getty's area will be just tickled to death to see this move on. Don Temeyer, Community Planning & Development Director, stated that the development agreement with Menards, Inc. requires they purchase the property by November 30, 2007 or the agreement will expire, or they would have to come back and ask for an extension. Menards has to start construction by July 1, 2009. We would like it to be sooner and it certainly can be sooner but that is when the agreement again will expire. They have to get this under their construction schedule because it is a multimillion dollar project for Menards. The agreement gives Menards 10 year tax rebates, which is a little more than the city would normally give, but it is a catalytic project for this area, and they are going to open up other areas for development. The city does not plan on offering incentives to other development in that area other than the CURA rebatements that they can apply for. Mr. Temeyer commented that they are also excited and appreciate all the help from the council, the neighborhoods, the Community Development Corporation, and everyone else who has worked on this for a long time. Mayor Hurley asked if Menards has options on the land out there or do they own it. Mr. Temeyer responded he thinks they have options on the property. They do own one piece of property but it is small. Mr. Temeyer noted that Menards has a minimum assessment that they will only qualify for the tax rebates if they actually build the store. Following comments a vote was taken on the above motion with the following result. Ayes: Seven. Resolution adopted and upon approval by Mayor assigned No. 2007-825. 125963 - Cole/Schmitt that communication from Community Development Director transmitting FY2007 Lead Based Paint Hazard Control Grant Program award of $1,510,597.00, with required local match of $643,117.00, be received, placed on file and "Resolution approving said grant", be adopted and Mayor authorized to execute same. Prior to a vote on the above motion, the following comments were heard. Mayor Hurley noted that the city received a $1.5 million grant from the Office of Healthy Homes from HUD and asked how the city will use that funding. Nancy Gulick, Community Development Coordinator, responded that the funding will be used to rehabilitate homes by removing lead from them, education and outreach, and some personnel costs. Community Development partners with the Black Hawk County Health Department, and they do the clearance testing and also they do the blood tests for the children who live in those homes. Mayor Hurley commented that this is the fund stream the city had and it shut off so in the end our whole rehab process slowed down because we were using HUD Block Rehab money to pay for lead abatement. Ms. Gulick stated that we had to use CDBG and Home money for that which lowered the number of homes that we could do. This will allow the city to spread out that money and complete more homes. Following comments a vote was taken on the above motion with the following result. Ayes: Seven. Resolution adopted and upon approval by Mayor assigned No. 2007-826. 125964 - Cole/Schmitt that communication from Mayor Tim Hurley transmitting applications with Black Hawk County Gaming Association for grant funding, be received, placed on file and "Resolution approving said applications", be adopted and Mayor authorized to execute same.
