Prior to a vote on this matter, the following discussion was heard. Dave Burman, representing the Highland Neighborhood Association, expressed his support for continued alley pick up. This past weekend, residents of Highland spent eight hours cleaning up the alleys in an effort to beautify the neighborhood. The Association's main concern is that street pick up would be unsightly and that garbage could blow around in the neighborhood. He asked that the Council give full consideration to reinstating alley pick up. A resident of Waterloo spoke in support of alley pick up. James Boyd, a member of the Highland Neighborhood Association, spoke in support of alley pick up. Councilperson Dell stated that he requested the Council reconsider alley pick up to accommodate the senior citizen population. He also felt that it was in contradiction to the City's gateway corridor improvements which encourages beautification and landscaping. He also reported that the costs of repair to alleys with alley pick up would be essentially the same as wear and tear on City streets. Councilperson Wright also expressed similar sentiments concerning alley pick up. Jeff Fitzpatrick, 103 Prospect Avenue, supported alley pick up and that the Historical Preservation Commission carefully reviews building permits and the effects on the neighborhood and that garbage in front yards seems to be contrary to these efforts. L.C. Hennessey, 218 South Street, asked what the difference is in carrying garbage out the front door or out the back door. Mayor McKinley reported that approximately 25 percent of the residences in Waterloo have alley pick up. The remainder receives garbage pick up at curbside. April 23, 1990 Page 4 Unfinished Business - continued Jim Graves, 2100 West Third Street, stated that garbage picked up at curbside looks much like a landfill. Jim Morrissey, 808 Randolph Street, supported alley pick up. Councilperson Budak suggested that alley pick up be reinstated in those areas where it would not present a hazard and in those instances when it would not place an undue financial hardship on the City. The following amendment was offered to the original motion. Moved by Budak, seconded by None that alley pick up be reinstated in those areas of the City where it does not present a safety hazard and does not place an undue financial burden on the City. The following discussion was heard on the above amendment. In response to the amendment, Mayor McKinley asked who and how it would be decided which streets would have alley pick up. John Meyer, Public Works Director, stated that the proposed plan provides for the continuation of alley pick up on three streets that have been determined to be dangerous for garbage workers. Councilperson Angel stated that there are some difficult decisions ahead for the City Council, including this issue. She stated that if the plan would save money, she supported it. Councilperson Fox echoed Councilperson Angel's comment. The amendment died due to a lack of a second. A roll call vote was taken on the original motion with the following result: Ayes: Dell, Wright, Budak. Nays: Fox, Angel, Buck, Brown. The Mayor declared that the motion did not pass and that alley pick up would not be reinstated. 95611 - The Mayor announced that the time had arrived for discussion on the site plan amendment request of Midwest Outdoor Advertising to construct a billboard on property owned by the Waterloo Water Works near the Crossroads Shopping Center. City Attorney Hugh Field reported that the proposed request conforms to the "S-1" Planned Shopping Center Commercial District zoning regulations and that the Waterloo Water Works Board of Trustees has the authority to enter into leases such as the one being recommended. It was suggested that in the future the Council could recommend that the Waterloo Water Works not renew this three year lease. Councilperson Buck expressed his disappointment that the City is not able to deny such requests when the City has undertaken the beautification program along the U.S. 218 Highway Corridor. Moved by Budak, seconded by Brown that "Resolution approving the site plan amendment request of Midwest Outdoor Advertising to construct a billboard on property zoned "S-1" Planned Shopping Center Commercial District, owned by the Waterloo Water Works, and located at the southwest corner of San Marnan Drive and LaPorte Road", be adopted with the recommendation that the Waterloo Water Works not renew the three year lease upon its expiration date.

Resolution adopted and upon approval by Mayor assigned No. 1990-242. 95629 - The Mayor announced that the time had arrived for discussion on Resolution Nos. 4, 5 and 6 relating to the use of pesticides in the City of Waterloo, Iowa. Rick Tagtow, Director of Parks and Forestry, reported on the Park Board's action relating to the use of pesticides. He summarized their actions as follows: They unanimously rejected the banning of the use of pesticides on City property. They also rejected the idea of allowing citizens who reside adjacent to City parks, golf courses, or rights-of-way to request that the City refrain from using pesticides as it would ultimately result in "patchwork" spraying and logistical difficulties. The Park Board has committed to continuing its efforts to seek safe and ecologically responsible methods of control and posting on public property, as required by state law. They also will be notifying individuals requesting such notification, via the City Clerk's office, at least 24 hours prior to pesticide application except when emergency conditions on golf courses would prohibit such action. They will also ultimately post signs on golf courses on specific sites when pesticides are applied. Mr. Tagtow also indicated his willingness to work with an ad hoc committee to determine changes in the methodology used for the application of pesticides. In response to questions from Mayor McKinley, Mr. Tagtow reported that rights-of-way receive no application of pesticides except when noxious leaves or trees are visible. Parks are only treated on an "as needed" basis. Ball diamonds receive spring and fall treatments. Golf courses are sprayed on a regular basis and limited usage of pesticides on flower beds is exercised. In response to a question from Councilperson Fox, Mr. Tagtow stated that the use of pesticides is very minimal when compared to the total land mass of the City park system which is approximately 3,000 acres. April 23, 1990 Page 8 Resolutions to be Adopted - continued Dean Fagerlind, Golf Superintendent at Byrnes Park, indicated that pesticides are used on a limited basis on the golf courses. The applications are done by professionals who care and exercise good judgment. The Mayor asked what the effect of banning pesticide spraying would be to the golf courses. Mr. Fagerlind responded by saying that the greens would soon be insect infected and would turn brown in a very short time. Moved by Buck, seconded by Angel that "Resolution banning the use of pesticides on all City property", be denied. Prior to a vote on the motion, the following discussion was heard. Sally Howard, representing the Sierra Club, urged the total banning of pesticides. She commented that the City should come down on the side of safety and touch issues. Sherry Benak, 201 Russell Road, asked the Council to ban the use of pesticides and suggested that the City become a leader in environmental issues. She urged the use of organics on City property. Jackie Stalberger, 441 Woodcrest Drive, asked that the Council consider all the issues and review the alternatives. She asked that when the Council voted, each Councilperson should give their reasons why they voted for or against the banning. Bill Lemke, 141 Madison Street, stated that the abuses in the past have created a problem for today's environment. Rick Tagtow, Director of Parks and Forestry, indicated the Park Board's willingness to work with an ad hoc committee to work through this situation. Elaine Jaquith, 3148 Marigold Drive, stated that with Earth Day celebrated on Sunday, April 22, the City should follow the movement and vote for a ban. She indicated that a vote not banning the use of pesticides would be a vote for the chemical companies. She explained that the City of Rochester, New York has a very unique program and urged the City to investigate its use of pesticides. Dean Platt, owner of Platt's Nursery, spoke of his concern against a total ban on the use of pesticides. He indicated that he knew of no organic pesticide on the market at the current time. He indicated that proper use of pesticides will be beneficial to all. Councilperson Dell stated that this issue is much larger than the Council has facts or information to solve. Mayor McKinley stated that the Park Department has taken a responsible approach to the use of pesticides. Councilperson Brown stated that at the public meeting at Edison School several weeks ago, no one agreed with Elaine Jaquith, even the experts in the field. Fred Foster, representing the Professional Lawncare Association of Iowa, spoke against a total ban on the use of pesticides. A roll call vote was taken on the above resolution with the following result: Ayes: Seven. Resolution not adopted. 95630 - Moved by Buck, seconded by Brown that "Resolution allowing citizens residing adjacent to City parks, golf courses or rights-of-way to request that the City refrain from using pesticides", be rejected.
