96751 - In making his motion, Councilperson Buck stated that not approving the amended

the part of the Council. He stated that with the "C -Z" Conditional Zoning, the
uses are more restrictive than what would have been allowed by the "C-2"
Commercial Zoning District. Councilperson Angel stated that she was opposed to
the amendment because adjacent property owners had been promised that office
buildings would be constructed and not used car lots. She stated that she
would not approve conditional zoning requests in the future under similar
circumstances.

ORAL PRESENTATIONS
96771 - Mayor McKinley expressed the City's sympathy the family of Russell Hayes, a
20 year veteran of the Park Commission. His many years of service to the
community was greatly appreciated.
Mayor McKinley stated that various members of the audience this evening were
present to discuss their feelings on school based clinics. He explained that
the City Council makes no decisions in this matter and stated he did not want
to have a parade of speakers come forward with the same message. He stated
that the Council would be amiable to listening to one speaker from each side of
the issue even though the Council is powerless to do anything about the School
Board's decision.
Sue Evanson Hanna, President of the Black Hawk County Right to Life
Organization, stated that the purpose of the organization is to provide
education on the issue of pro-life. She distributed materials for the Council
to read, including a proposed resolution on this issue. She stated that the
Waterloo School Administration has been working with the Black Hawk Health
Department in obtaining an $83,000 grant to sponsor a school based clinic at
Expo School, an alternative school for high school age individuals. She stated
that most generally City Councils become involved in this very issue once grant
money is exhausted. She stated that eventually such clinics provide
reproductive referrals and lead to the dispensing of contraceptives. Ms. Hanna
asked that the Council give consideration to this issue and relayed a personal
story of her own daughter, an unwanted child. Her daughter has been one of the
bright lights in her life.
Elaine Jaquith, 3138 Marigold Drive, stated that this is an important issue for
the Council to consider. Mayor McKinley reiterated his earlier remarks to
allow only one individual from each side of the issue to speak. Ms. Jaquith
urged the Mayor to allow more discussion on this topic.
Mayor McKinley again reiterated that the Council has no decision in this
matter, but each Council Members feels very deeply about this as an individual.
He thanked the coalition for providing the information.
Bob Tyson, Principal at Expo School, stated that as a parent, resident, and 19
year educator in the community, he feels many kids are in need of assistance
just to survive. They need positive counseling and role models that such a
program could provide. Many of these youngsters seeking an education at Expo
need community health care services in order to reach their potential as an
individual. He greatly supports the proposal of the Waterloo schools to
provide such a program.
Moved by Buck, seconded by Brown
that the above oral comments be received and placed on file and the meeting be
adjourned at 7:50 p.m. Motion carried.
