PETITIONS FROM PUBLIC
87253 - Dr. Sam Nodarse explained to the Council the concept of establishing
a World Import Mart in Black Hawk County. In order to arrive at this
designation, it is necessary that the City of Waterloo became a port
of entry and to create a "satellite free zone" close to the airport.
He estimated that within eighteen months the City would have 1,000
American importers in the area and approximately 2,000 associated
importers. A minimum of five jobs for each importer and one job for
each associate importer could be created within the area. As a
result approximately 5,200 jobs could be created before the end of
next year. He stated that he was not asking for money from the
government for this project, and that this mart would not be in
competition with the World Trade Center which is being planned in Des
Moines.
Councilperson Seeber stated that rather than having importers sell
products within the United States, he was more interested in selling
American products to the World Market.
Moved by Getty, seconded by Wright
that the above remarks be received, placed on file and Mr. Nodarse
was instructed to contact Donna Lesyshen, Assistant City Attorney, to
review the details of this project.
Motion carried.

May 6, 1985 at 7:00 p.m. in the City Hall Council Chambers on above

Street Department. On several attempts the committee tried to come

87258 Councilperson Seeber stated that he requested that the McElroy
Auditorium Lease be placed on the Council agenda so that the City
could give Cattle Congress one years' notice prior to cancellation
(as required by the agreement). The lease agreement runs through
May, 1986. He also enumerated the total expenditures the City has
made for the operation of McElroy over the past five years.
Councilperson Dawie suggested that perhaps giving notice of
cancellation may be premature in light of the freeway construction
which may take a portion of the parking at the Cattle Congress
grounds.
Bob Stevenson, City Planner, stated that the Iowa Department of
Transportation is currently appraising the damages to the property.
Appraisals for this property may be available in approximately three
weeks.
John Fister, Attorney representing Cattle Congress, indicated that
Cattle Congress may be willing to alter the current lease agreement
with the City to allow a lesser time of notification for the City's
cancellation of the lease.
