Councilperson Angel suggested that the Council not act in haste and delay a decision on this matter until after the bus depot is in operation and an assessment of parking needs is made. She stated that she has heard that parking needs in the area could be addressed with adding an additional floor on the East Park Avenue parking ramp. She asked why sell it if the City may need it for parking in the future. In response to questions from Mayor McKinley, Planning and Development Director Don Temeyer stated that the anticipated completion date of the Central Transfer Station is January 1, 1989. The National Bank will be exchanging with the City property located at the corner of East Fifth and Water Streets. In addition to paying approximately $3,000 and additional land the National Bank will be receiving, they have also agreed to give an additional $2,000 for landscaping of the Water Street site. He outlined the existing parking situation at the Central Transfer Station. Mr. Temeyer stated that the construction of an additional floor on the parking ramp is a separate issue that will be need to be determined at a future date as development occurs in the area. Councilperson Wright, Chairperson of the Building and Grounds Committee, reported that her Committee had recommended approval of the exchange. She also stated that the Committee specified that the property to be given to the City at the intersection of East Fifth and Water Streets would not necessarily be specified for park purposes. Councilperson Angel inquired as to whether or not the parallel parking will be removed on Sycamore Street adjacent to the Central Transfer Station. Mr. Temeyer pointed out that it is not being recommended at this time; however, if the need exists to replace it with angle parking, the issue will come before the Council for review and approval at a later time.

Prior to the roll call, the following discussion was heard. Councilperson Wright addressed Mark Linda, Disease Prevention Manager, asking for a clarification on the definition of junk motor vehicle. Mr. Linda reported that any unlicensed motor vehicle stored within the corporate limits of the City and/or has any two of seven characteristics is classified as a junk motor vehicle. The ordinance is enforceable both on public and private property. Roger Zimmerman, 1926 City View, asked what persons remodeling classic cars are to do when they do not have adequate room to store their vehicles in a building. Mayor McKinley suggested that they find adequate indoor space to comply with the terms of the ordinance. Floyd Neidert, 1019 Broadway Avenue, asked whether an unlicensed trailer is considered junk. Again, if it is unlicensed and meets two of the seven criteria, it is considered a junk motor vehicle. Mayor McKinley stated that one person's classic may be another person's nuisance. Forest Dillavou, 1725 Huntington Road, suggested that there are cars traveling City streets that cannot meet the ordinance and would be considered junk motor vehicles according to the ordinance. Bill Lemke, 149 Madison Street, clarified an earlier comment stating that a valid antique license is considered to be a current, legal license. Councilperson Angel asked why an antique license issued under the laws of the State of Iowa is considered a junk vehicle. It was stated that much of the ordinance being reviewed tonight was based upon a model ordinance that has been reviewed by the Supreme Court. Discussion was heard whether or not the phraseology "and/or" should be retained in Section 7A-1, Paragraph B. It was suggested that if only the word "and" were used, a licensed motor vehicle that met two of the seven characteristics could escape the consequences of the ordinance. Mr. Linda pointed out that the ordinance provides for a hearing process. Councilperson Wright warned against making an ordinance too tough or hard for common people to follow. Ernie Boykin, 530 Hope Street, referred to a junk car situation in the alley behind her home. She stated her support for the ordinance as a tool that can be used in cleaning up various areas within the City. Councilperson Wright stated that she was in favor of the ordinance, but that the ordinance may be going too far. Don Temeyer, Planning and Development Director, pointed out that the proposed ordinance provides a mechanism for cleaning up the neighborhoods, a prime objective of the administration. A tough ordinance dealing with junk cars will greatly assist in enforcement by staff. As the Council is aware, passage of a strict weed ordinance has brought many complaints concerning its enforcement; however, the end results have been productive. A vote was taken on the above motion with the following results: Ayes: Six. Absent: Budak. Motion carried. September 19, 1988 Page 7 Ordinances to be Adopted - continued 92819 - Moved by Dell, seconded by Wright that "an Ordinance establishing grades for streets, roads, avenues and boulevards on Derbyshire Road from Prospect Boulevard to Sunset Road (F.Y. 1989 500 Block Derbyshire Road Paving, Contract No. 355)", be received, placed on file, passed and considered for the first time.

ORAL PRESENTATIONS 92828 - Gene Yagla, representing Fereday Heating Company, stated that this was the fourth time that he has appeared before the Waterloo City Council concerning the hazards of the curve on the 1000 block of Broadway Street and the resulting damage to Fereday Heating Company. He appeared in 1980, 1982, 1986 and now. He pointed out that during the past ten years, a serious accident has occurred at this location every eighteen months to two years. Cars lose control due to the sharpness of the curve, resulting in considerable property damage to Fereday Heating. The City has somewhat addressed the problem by reducing speed limits and placing reflectors on the curve. During a 45 day period, employees of Fereday Heating kept track of the number of times the reflectors had been knocked down. The reflectors had been knocked down a total of 115 times. In 1980, the issue was discussed with the Iowa Department of Transportation who conducted a survey and recommended that Jersey type barriers be placed at this location. At that time, the State was willing to pay up to 50 percent of the cost. Also a part of the recommendation was to close Newton Street. The City Council at that time rejected the recommendation due to the neighborhood opposition of closing the street. In 1982, the City Council also rejected a proposal to make improvements to the curve. In September, 1983, the Iowa Department of Transportation recommended one of two options: 1) Straighten out the curve at an approximate cost of $703,000 or 2) The installation of a Jersey barrier. Early in 1986, an accident took place at this curve. Again, the City Council refused to correct the problem, although staff recommendations were in favor of placement of Jersey barriers. Mr. Yagla pointed out that last Friday, September 16, 1988, Fereday again "dodged the bullet" and another accident occurred at the curve causing approximately $5,000 in damage to the property. He asked that the Council again look at the situation and review the alternatives that have been presented. He stressed the need for an immediate remedy. Mayor McKinley stated that this item would be referred to the Public Works Committee for action. September 19, 1988 Page 9 Oral Presentations - continued Marlyn Clark, 540 Newton Street, stated that a Jersey barrier would flip any vehicle striking it. He suggested that rumble strips be installed. He was against the closing of Newton Street since emergency vehicles could not easily enter the neighborhood. Wanda Hovey, 1013 Broadway Street, also spoke against a Jersey barrier at this curve. Boyd Niedert, 1019 Broadway Street, also spoke against the Jersey barrier. Kathy Oberle, 710 Forest Avenue, spoke of a recently trip to the IBP facility in Storm Lake. She and the group visited with the City Administrator as well as the Director of Human Services. The City Administrator spoke of a high turnover rate of employees, the need for additional human services, but that IBP was a good neighbor. The Director of Human Services said that there was an increase in persons eligible for Title XIX. IBP also contributes to the Upper Iowa United Way to assist in rental and energy programs. It was explained that each new employee is given four days of classroom instruction together with the 90 day break-in period with supervision. It was stated that IBP is a valuable asset to the community and that residents have entered the situation with an open mind. She stated that we must go on with the development and be watch dogs of IBP's operation. It was suggested by Joann Smith that instead of picnic tables in the lunchroom area, workers be provided with chairs with backs. Leon Mosley, 99 John officers walk the beat protection afforded consideration be given the City of Waterloo. Committee for review.
