ORAL PRESENTATIONS
97291 - Kathy Oberle, 710 Forest Avenue, asked whether the city owned the property
located at 522 West Ninth Street. She explained that it is in bad disrepair
and a hazard to the neighborhood. She also questioned the expenditure of the
Fire Department for travel expenses to Waverly, Iowa, which was a recent topic
of the "Call the Courier". She stated that this was not a wise use of
taxpayers' money if the employees' lodging was paid for while attending the
seminar. Assistant Fire Chief Frank Magsaman stated that several members of
the department did attend an overnight seminar in Waverly with all expenses
paid by the city.
Ms. Oberle also questioned a recent mailing to all garbage customers advising
them of safe ways to dispose of yard waste. She stated that several households
had received duplicate copies and questioned this additional cost. John Meyer,
Public Works Director, stated that the notices were generated utilizing current
garbage customer lists through the Black Hawk County Data Processing
Department. This duplication is being investigated.
Moved by Brown, seconded by Budak
that the above oral comments be received and placed on file and the Council
adjourn at 7:25 p.m. Motion carried.
