ORAL PRESENTATIONS
98939 - Councilperson Buck noted that the January 1992 minutes of the Community Development
Board indicated that the Holiday Inn is delinquent in their loan payments. He also
stated that the Holiday Inn has yet to sign an agreement with the City on the
management of the Convention Center. He asked that the City Attorney prepare
various options within the next two weeks for the City to proceed with collection
of these monies and signing of said agreement.
Kathy Oberle, 710 Forest Avenue, questioned the snow removal ordinance on emergency
routes. She reported that she was aware of a situation that resulted in issuance
of a ticket after a car parked on a street during an emergency, but after the
street was plowed. She questioned why the City would ticket a vehicle when the
street had been plowed.
John Meyer, Public Works Director, reported that cars should not park on priority
streets during the term of the snow emergency. This allows snowplow drivers to
return to emergency streets, particularly during continuous heavy snowfalls and
blowing conditions. Cars returning to the street are a hinderance to completion
of the snowplow driver's job.
Kathy Oberle indicated that her minority report filed with the Citizen's Budget
Review Committee report had requested that the City support a donor check -off for
organ transplants. She urged the Mayor and City Council to support this action in
the form of a letter and forward it to Iowa Congresspersons.
Councilperson Angel reminded members of the public of the town meeting scheduled
for Tuesday, February 25, 1992 at 7:00 p.m. at the Waterloo Recreation and Arts
Center on the City's proposed recycling plan.
Moved by Budak, seconded by Brown
that the above oral comments be received, placed on file and the Council adjourn
at 7:28 p.m. Motion carried.
